...since 1932, when Representative Wright Patman attacked Andrew Mellon, has such a resolution been seen in Congress. Not since the Senate voted that President Coolidge should fire Secretary of the Navy Denby for his part in the oil scandals has one been adopted. Unlike Secretary Denby, who resigned, Miss Perkins, who knew she would not be impeached, welcomed a showdown. She repeated what she and her colleagues have said all along: that the only ground on which Harry Bridges might be deported is that he belongs to the Communist Party, which he denies and which has not been established...
...blame its troubles as Mexico. But because some people think that Mexico has yet to bring an effective Government and a sense-making economy out of its 28-year-old "Revolution," because it proclaims itself a proletarian State, harbors Revolutionary Leon Trotsky and at the same time barters oil expropriated from the democracies with Germany and Italy, thoughtful observers have picked it as a place where anything might happen. Last week something unique on the American continent...
...Collier's. In 1925 Collier's installed him on the Collier's Hour that continued until 1931. After Collier's Hour went off the air NBC hired Kennedy as a staff commentator. His biggest season was 1934-35 when, hired out to Packard, Continental Oil, Lucky Strike and RCA Victor, he collected...
...March 31, 1937, at Sun Oil's Marcus Hook plant hard by the Delaware River, engineers charged Houdry Unit 11-4 with 15,000 barrels of sloppy residuum after Sun's thermal cracking refiners had squeezed every drop of gasoline they could from the crude. Up went the heat to 900°. Pressure was applied. And as still men and panel men anxiously watched the gauges, the vaporized residuum was forced through the macaroni-shaped catalyst of silica and alumina. When 11-4 had done its work, yield sheets showed that the waste oil had given...
...Socony-Vacuum are using it, and they mix the result with ordinary gas to improve the octane rating. If Houdry refining becomes general, it may: 1) reduce the need for the tetraethyl lead which now makes most gasoline satisfactory in modern high-compression engines; 2) conserve U. S. oil reserves by yielding more gasoline per barrel of crude; 3) help stabilize prices by stabilizing stocks, now badly unbalanced because gasoline and fuel oil must be produced simultaneously though one is most used in summer, the other in winter...
