Enthusiasm for his favorite relief project took President Roosevelt to the Department of Commerce building one morning last week to inspect an exhibit of subsistence homesteads and other forms of local selfhelp. Set up in the auditorium were models of homesteads, samples of co-operative-made furniture, rugs, tools, quilts, etc. Before he left the White House the President had not intended to make a speech to a heterogeneous audience which included three Cabinet members, Bernard Baruch, the Federal Administrator of Relief, some Congressmen. Mrs. Roosevelt and many a humble relief worker. But by the time he left the auditorium...
...last week it had 36 projects in the making. Most advanced was at Dayton where some co-operative workers were already moving into their new homes scattered in small groups in the outskirts of the city. An entirely different type of project is at Monticello, Ga., where work under an expert engineer and architect was well under way by last week. There, 75 miles from the President's own Warm Springs, 12,000 acres of old estates have been bought up, and buildings are being reconditioned, so that farmers from ''rural slums" can be settled in better...
...page in 17 min. The result was so nearly perfect that a layman could hardly distinguish between original print and telephoto. But A. T. & T. would not consider re-entering the precarious picture business by itself. Rather, it wanted one or more of the picture agencies to take the project over, leasing the $16,000 machines and A.

...routine. The job would cost more than a million dollars a year, $560,000 in wire tolls alone. With careful secrecy AP sent Editor Huse on the road to sound out member publishers in 25 key cities. In many cities one publisher was invited to underwrite the telephoto project for his territory, with the understanding that if AP adopted it, any other member paper could subscribe to the service and reduce the underwriter's cost. Operations could begin next autumn. When first making his rounds, Editor Huse prudently steered clear of all Hearst and Scripps-Howard papers since both...
...Glenn L. Martin Co. moved to a superb new plant near Baltimore. To finance this project the company floated a $3,000,000 bond issue. After five lean years Founder Martin realized that he must let the public into his private company as a means of meeting its maturities. The $6,000,000 Martin company has never been a gold mine. Development costs in military aviation preclude bulging surpluses. In 1927 and 1928 Martin reported annual profits of about $500,000 but in 1932 the company just broke even, last year lost $140,000. Martin entered this year with some...
