...Viking (Varick Frissell Production) is the picture about seal hunting which the late Varick Frissell, Yale '26, nephew of Pennsylvania's Governor Pinchot, was finishing when his ship blew up off White Bay, Newfoundland, killing him and 25 others (TIME, March 23). It tells a feeble love story about two sealers, one a braggart, the other a "jinker" (unlucky sealer), both attached to the same girl. But interesting and important is the middle part of the picture where the love story is practically forgotten and there is shown a journalistic record of a perilous and picturesque method of earning...
Since 1928 when she flew as "baggage" from Newfoundland to Wales in a monoplane piloted by the late Wilmer Stultz and Lou Gordon, Miss Earhart had to submit to such labels as "Lady Lindy," "First Lady of the Air," etc. Her name was bought by Cosmopolitan, which engaged her as aviation editor, then by Transcontinental Air Transport, which appointed her assistant to the general traffic manager. Last autumn she was given charge of publicity for Ludington Line (plane-per-hour) operating between New York and Washington, a job lately delegated elsewhere. Few months ago Miss Earhart married her friend...
...state deepest bogged last week in a fiscal morass was Austria (see p. 23). Other governments painfully pinched for money by Depression were those of Newfoundland and Brazil (see below). But many a nation is not pinched. Last week Canada easily converted more than $600,- 000,000 worth of a series of Dominion bonds (totalling $1,084,800,000) into other series at impressive savings in the rates of interest. Fortnight ago Italy offered an internal loan of 4,000,000,000 lire ($210,000,000). Italian investors offered a total of 7,004,439,500 lire, a 75% oversubscription...
...Newfoundland's Mere $8,000,000. Because the Government of Newfoundland, "Oldest British Colony," has been unable to find buyers for an $8,000,000 bond issue, harassed Premier Sir Richard Squires raised money last week by selling Labrador to "European interests": such was a Wall Street rumor that jolted the British Empire...
...glaciers calved their bergs and Arctic ice floes cracked up as usual. Lieutenant Commander Edward H. Smith of the Coast Guard, who expects to be on the Graf Zeppelin's proposed flight this summer, last week thought he knew. Bergs drift south from the Arctic toward Labrador and Newfoundland. Normally an "ice fence" exists along those coasts, against which the bergs strike. The soft collision sends the bergs caroming eastward into the shipping lanes. This year, he believes and hopes to find, the "ice fence" has failed to form. Consequently the southing bergs must have piled...
