...Money," is the adventurous tale of two blonde process-servers who are confident that any man can be made--to accept a summons. The difficulties they encounter in slapping subpoenas on such men as Butch Gonzales, Phil Logan, and Man Mountain Dean are as nothing compared to the complexities which arise when C. Richard Courtney of Central Park, West, is attacked. Hugh Herbert adds another figure to his imposing list of characterizations in the person of one Homer Bronson, shyster lawyer with considerable experience in breaches of promise. The courtroom scene is hardly calculated to bring into one's mind...
...State forced some 600,000 Russians to move out of the great and fairly comfortable cities of Moscow and Leningrad by handing them new passports stating that they could live & work only on farms or in the smaller, pioneer cities (TIME, May 8, 1933). To make this mass passport process even harsher, Russians who had to surrender their old passports could not get new ones unless they rehearsed their entire life histories and proved that they were not enemies of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Anyone who turned out to be such an "enemy" was punished in drastic Soviet fashion...
...objects of the maneuvers were to provide training in: 1) mobilization, 2) the "logistics of a concentration," 3) field service. Of the five divisions present the 1st (Regular) is now in process of motorization.

Artist Wright is still a Synchromist but does not talk about it much. At present he is more interested in a new process of color photography which he calls "Synchrome...
More cheerful was Phillips Petroleum Co., which more than a year ago instituted a fifth advance in gasoline manufacture. Gasoline was first made by boiling oil, next by squeezing gasoline vapor out of natural gas ("casing-head process"), later by distillation of crude oil ("cracking"), finally by hydrogenation. The Phillips process was polymerization-formation of heavy molecules from light ones with heat, pressure, catalysts (chemical activators). By this method lightweight derivatives formerly wasted or diverted to by-products are made into high-grade fuel. Trade papers pointed out that if all gaseous hydrocarbons produced in cracking were utilized...
