...Quiet Type. George Humphrey is from the Midwest heartland of coal and ore which supports the kingdom of steel. Since the '20s he has converted Cleve land's M. A. Hanna Co. from a foundering hodgepodge of mines and miscellany into a skillfully integrated corporation with holdings worth $250 million. The M. A. Hanna Co. dominates coal and iron mines, ships, banks, chemical plants, a rayon plant, a steel corporation-and is now deep in an enormous ore project in Labrador. Humphrey's exploits made his name magic among the planners and visionaries of U.S. industry...
Junked Cats. The Hanna company was originally one of Cleveland's "ore houses," built up by Mark Hanna, who became the G.O.P. political power in William McKinley's day. When Humphrey arrived in 1917, the company was thriving on the wartime boom.

...Right of Correction Treaty." If the U.S. Government ratified the treaty, for example, it would be required to distribute to the press "corrections" from any other government that feels it has been misrepresented by U.S. papers. U.S. Delegate Charles Sprague, ex-governor of Oregon and publisher of the Salem (Ore.) Statesman, called the treaty a "hazardous step" because it would force a government to distribute to its press any propaganda other countries wanted to foist upon it. The Russians and their satellites also voted against the treaty on completely different grounds: they are still pushing for a treaty that will...
