...Jack Dempsey pressed his case. By last week both Rules Committees had decreed that henceforth radio should have "equal facilities" for covering Congress. Last week workmen began making part of the House visitors' gallery a radio gallery, and in the Senate the Rules Committee pondered whether to put radio right in with the press or give it a gallery of its own. This week, making Fulton Lewis' conquest of the Capital complete, White House Secretary Stephen Early issued permission for accredited radio men to attend White House press conferences...
When the German Government gave the Jews a final turn of the screw last winter, many an observer predicted that the Roman Catholic Church would be next on the rack-put there by Nazis covetous of its big German properties. Up to last week, however, Adolf Hitler was too busy on other fronts to pay much attention either to the Catholic or to the German State Protestant churches.

...South Side 60 years ago Jacob Portis proved better at raising a family than at selling real estate: his eight boys had to sell newspapers. Milton Portis, the eldest (now 62), worked his way through medical school. The two youngest, Bernard and Sidney (now 42 and 45), were put through by their older brothers. Three others, Isadore, Arnold and Theodore, went to work for a hat firm and in 1914 they and the remaining two brothers, Lyon and Henry, set up Portis Brothers Hat Co. They had $23,000 to start with, half borrowed from Dr. Milton, half from, others...
