Last May, when the purple path of Congressman Adolph Joseph Sabath's committee investigating bondholders' reorganizations led to Philadelphia for a second time, Philadelphia Co. investors packed the Federal Building to hear what the Philadelphia Inquirer called "one of the most sensational exposes of alleged practices in Philadelphia's top-rank financial world within memory of the present generation." When the Sabath committee scored, the investors cheered. When the sweating bankers offered explanations, they booed and waved empty pocketbooks. Sample revelations...
Mongol "irregulars", supported semi-covertly by Japanese planes and arms are attempting to wrest Suiyan Province from Chinese control.

Producer Hearst quit Pathé, changed the name of his reel to International Newsreel. It became Hearst Metrotone News whe MGM began to distribute it in 1930.
