...pride of Ontario reformers was Norman F. ("Red") Ryan, a hulking, 200-lb. Torontonian with little pig eyes and a disarming smile. Red Ryan's highly publicized criminal career first attracted wide attention in 1921. For armed robbery he was sentenced to seven years in St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary and given 14 lashes on the bare back with...
Cleveland newshawks got together three years ago to talk of organizing to protect their jobs, shorten hours, raise pay. Soon they heard that similar meetings were being held in Manhattan, Minneapolis and St. Paul. Result was American Newspaper Guild, founded in December 1933 with shaggy, drawling Scripps-Howard Columnist Heywood Campbell Broun as its president. Though some of the members at first did not like to proclaim it as such, the new Guild was a labor union from the start. Last week in Manhattan's Hotel Astor, the third annual Guild convention enthusiastically admitted this fact when instructed delegates...

After receiving the $65,000 commission, Milles worked four years at his studio in Cranbrook Academy of Art at Bloomfield Hills, near Detroit, to make a full-scale model which was shipped in sections to St. Paul, where the finished statue's 98 onyx blocks were carved and carefully lifted into place by a crew of workmen. The statue's turntable was motivated by a one-half h. p. motor which slowly swings the Indian 90° to the right in one hour, then 90° to the left next hour. From the second floor level...
