...Supreme Court heard more evidence last week against the five men accused of firing Berlin's Reichstag building (TIME, March 26, et seq.). Center of interest was still the dull-witted Dutch arson boy, Marinus van der Lubbe (only defendant to be kept manacled and in prison garb in the court room). Chief pain to the prosecution was still the pugnacious Bulgarian Communist Leader George Dimitroff...
...start of her career, coolly fencing off the admiration of a clownish confrère and a suave young barrister (Conrad Nagel). It deals more comprehensively with her wartime love affair with Captain Resnick (Bruce Cabot). After these preliminary romances and Ann's brief, unhappy experience as a prison-executive, the picture launches enthusiastically into the matter of her liaison with Judge Barney Dolphin (Walter Huston...
...third and most probable course is to switch the case to another charge: that of being a Communist. By the present Nazi laws, membership in that party can be construed as high treason; and on that basis Torgler, Dmitroff, and Ten-off may be returned to their prison camps for life.

No end of elaborate wiles and artifices, including stuffed deer, an Indian chief, a plank bridge, were brought into play to lure the animal from its prison, all to no avail. Park employes feared that, if frightened, the buck might plunge over the brink and be destroyed, as its mate had been. Last week the buck's predicament, by now a national news story, brought Superintendent Gardiner Bump of New York's Conservation Department...
Corollary to his order permitting export of newly mined gold, President Roosevelt issued at the same time new orders requiring gold hoarders to report their holdings and turn them in-penalty for failure $10,000 fine or ten years in prison. No startling success has been Attorney General Cummings' gold hunt to date. After starting out last June to recover "$500,000,000 of gold in hoarding," he admitted fortnight ago that he had located but $39,000,000. Yet sternly intent remains the President that gold hoarders shall not profit like gold miners by selling their gold abroad...
