After graduating from Annapolis these officers have spent from five to seven years at sea. They have then been selected for special training in radio and electrical work at the University, with one year of post graduate work at Annapolis as a preparation. When they complete their course here next year, they will be given practical training and experience in established firms engaged in electrical work, will finish off with two months of research work at the Bellevue Research Laboratory of the Navy near Washington, D.

...newshawks will be dragged whining from their typewriters and flung upon the stage. One scheduled play about newspaper folk is Gentlemen of the Press by Ward Morehouse, who writes dramatic notes for the New York Evening Sun. In this a genuine columnist, Russel Crouse of the New York Evening Post, will try acting. Another is The Front Page, by Ben Hecht and Chas. McArthur, sponsored by Jed Harris, which received a tryout in Newark last week...
