...unbalanced budget usually begins to stir President Hoover into alarmed action about half way through each session of Congress. Last week astute United Pressmen at the White House thought they saw the customary signs, forecast one more special message to Congress in which the President would urge an evening up of income and outgo without making specific recommendations on how this was to be accomplished. The Associated Press accepted a routine denial by the White House Secretariat that any such message was contemplated...
Finally a pistol battle took place in the publishing plant of Berlin's world-famed Socialist daily Vorwdrts ( Forward!"). Shooting from behind their presses, Socialist pressmen repulsed invading Fascists who, however, severely-wounded two pressmen. Later a sniper concealed in the Vorwarts building pointed a shotgun at Fascists marching past in the street, squeezed the trigger, badly wounded one Fascist...
...contrast to the attitude of pressmen and politicians, the court and the University have been sane and dignified in their treatment of the incident. The district attorney finally recovered from his first flights of fancy and treated the defendants with sensible geniality.

While Mr. Wood experimented, Col. McCormick was not idle. In an effort to make his pressmen color-conscious he had them experiment with the old fashioned makeready color processes until they could turn out fairly presentable two-and three-color advertisements. Last week's crude red frontpage cartoon was the last step in the Tribune's color education before graduating to the complicated four-color Wood presses...
