...Detroit's better businessmen. Sponsored by the city's conservative citizenry who earlier in the year were fearful that a united labor slate would sweep the field, was Richard W. Reading, long-time city clerk. The C. I. O. candidate was an oldtime Democrat named Patrick O'Brien, Michigan's 69-year-old veteran attorney general who made his liberal name as circuit judge during the copper mine strikes in Michigan before the War. A. F. of L. belatedly entered John W. Smith, who was Detroit's mayor in the middle 1920s and has been...
Sitting on the bench in the stuffy courtroom last week was Judge Patrick Thomas Stone, 48, regular presiding justice for the district. Appointed by President Roosevelt in 1933, he is softspoken, dignified, erect, has a reputation for scrupulous fairness. That he would tolerate no undue fuss and delay became apparent when he succeeded in getting a jury chosen on the first day, instead of allowing the week that had been estimated would be necessary. His sternness was also apparent in the first skirmish of the trial, when Prosecutor Hammond Edward Chaffetz, 30, who has been with the Department of Justice...
...Bill. When the five-man SECommission was created in 1934 for the sole purpose of reforming Wall Street, worried speculators were mollified when one of their number-Joseph Patrick Kennedy-was made Chairman.

In their efforts to please everyone, the producers have put a great many ingredients in their cinematic soup and include in their cast along with Ida Lupino, Gail Patrick, and Richard Arlen, Andre Kostelanetz, Connie Boswell, the Yacht Club Boys, Martha Raye, Louis Armstrong, McClelland Barclay, Peter Arno, and two "rhythm swimmers" who pretty nearly steal the show with their performance in a sequence of "Whispers in the Dark...
...Filene department store. In 1928 he conceived an idea which seemed unlikely to set the world afire: a Conference on Distribution to parallel the conference on national and international problems held annually by the Institute of Human Relations at Williamstown, Mass. But under two enthusiasts, Dan Bloomfield and President Patrick Augustin O'Connell, of Boston's Retail Trade Board, conferences have been held every year since then. Last week when the ninth annual conference met in Boston, it proved rather conclusively that Mr. Bloomfield had had a good idea...
