...most glaring omission, in a speech obviously intended to restore business confidence, was the matter of New Deal expenses, and the partial failure of government refinancing this quarter, which raises the grave question of how the Administration proposes to foot its bills. A declaration on this point is undoubtedly the most imperative pronouncement that the government should make, if business is not to draw the conclusion that radical financial policies are contemplated...
Three days later, therefore, when the four du Fonts and their seven lawyers were again assembled, proceedings were carried on under partial censorship. Pierre du Pont testified that it was the company's policy to refuse business rather than pay bribes to government officials. A bundle of documents was promptly introduced showing that the du Pont company had paid large "commissions" to Chinese Nationalist officials in 1932, whose names, in accordance with the new procedure, were not released...
Like Germany's Hermann Wilhelm Goring, Roscoe Turner is partial to fancy uniforms. Last week he wore a red-and-gold helmet, sky-blue tunic, fawn-colored breeches, Sam Browne belt, riding boots.

Even in ordinary times the packers buy some hogs direct from concentration points in the cattle country. Shipments of "direct" cattle, private and Government owned, continued and soon began to increase. Chicago's commission men, who normally receive the bulk of the cattle and over half the hogs on consignment at the stock yards, virtually shut up shop. Their own livestock handlers would have struck...
