...Committee proceeded therefore to try to find out who did the forging and why. To this end U. S. Secret Service men were called in. The investigators also sought evidence of the messages and money supposed to have been telegraphed from Mexico to Consul General Elias. Such evidence, to prove the validity of Hearst-published documents, was lacking. Investigation continued. Publisher Hearst's Washington Herald brazenly stated: "The least unfortunate result was bound to be suspicion and ill will between the two countries." Alert citizens, however, felt more suspicion and ill will for Publisher Hearst than for Mexico...
...remained party-faithful to the rest of the Democratic ticket. Before leaving office, Governor Fields did support two Kentucky traditions. In six weeks he pardoned 148 convicts, sitting up long past midnight to dictate his reasons as required by law.* Law does not compel Kentucky's Governor to prove his reasons but last week, Mr. Fields busied himself defending the innocence of convicted-&-pardoned murderers, manslaughterers, robbers forgers, embezzlers, housebreakers, barn burners...

Mr. Hearst thus dodged his only chance to prove the truth of his "news", and by so doing to force reputable publications to print it or such facts about it as their investigators could assemble. Mr. Hearst published no justification for the dodge. TIME will glorify Hearst enterprise when it is justified...
Wild Geese, brushing across a cobwebbed sky, become for Judith Gare the symbol of a freedom she achieves when her father's avarice finally traps him into death. Spots of melodrama, blotches of theatrical emotion do less, to mar the story than to prove that sincere acting can make these defects seem trivial. Belle Bennett (whose reward for a fine performance in Stella Dallas has been a succession of mediocre roles) and Eve Southern (who wore dark hair and a fixed expression in The Gaucho) are competent to effect a more than satisfactory transposition of Martha Ostenso...
