...Acute suffering in Pennsylvania moved sad-eyed Governor Gifford Pinchot to appeal for Red Cross aid three weeks ago. American Red Cross Chairman John Barton Payne refused, regretted he could help only in disasters due to "act of God." Governor Pinchot sighed and went off fishing. The Press was full of horrid details of hungry Pennsylvania families awaiting eviction from squalid shacks; of small children, denied milk, eating dandelions...
...Pinchot Patching. Meanwhile, what was Governor Gifford Pinchot, outspoken foe of "the interests," doing? With a sly dig at his predecessor, John S. Fisher, said he: "I recognize the terrible condi- tions in the mining district. They were bad when I was in office before [1923-27], I arbitrated the anthracite strike and conditions were improved there. After I went out of office, conditions got worse. ...

It tells a feeble love story about two sealers, one a braggart, the other a "jinker" (unlucky sealer), both attached to the same girl. But interesting and important is the middle part of the picture where the love story is practically forgotten and there is shown a journalistic record of a perilous and picturesque method of earning...
...Frissell wanted also to make a shot of an iceberg turning over and had gone back to Labrador to try to get one when the Viking blew up. Before The Viking's Manhattan premiere last week, Dr. and Mrs. Lewis Fox Frissell gave a dinner to Governor and Mrs. Pinchot; their other son, Phelps Montgomery Frissell, was killed eight years ago while climbing in the Alps...
