...last week's contest Rohrer's record was to raise 170½ lb. in the one-arm snatch. In the one-arm clean and jerk he lifted 198 lb. and then later, feeling yet stronger, he lifted 203½ lb. This did not constitute a record because he did it on his fourth attempt (you only get three tries), and because in Switzerland lives a man who once lifted 230 lb. with one hand...
...been several weeks since stock market daily turnovers have approached the records set by the Big Hoover Market and the Big, Bad Federal Reserve. Last week, however, the Manhattan Curb reported a day's turnover of 2,537,000 shares, third largest in Curb history and considerably exceeded only by Nov. 28, 1928 with its three million record. Artificial, however, was last week's large statistics, inasmuch as the high figure resulted chiefly from frenzied trading in one issue. Opening the day with a 35,000-share order, Arkansas Natural Gas Corp.-almost inactive for months-turned over...

Spartanburg (S. C.) Herald-Journal, Columbia (S. C.) Record and Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle: $855,000 of notes of the owners, secured by all the stock of these papers. In spite of the earnest Graustein statements about the Graustein press, almost all the rest of the press flayed the Graustein policy. Conservative editors saw it innocent enough but potentially dangerous to press freedom. The yellower sheets saw nothing but machinations of the Power Trust-and undoubtedly hoped to capture circulation from the 13 Graustein papers by painting them black. Said the Hearst press: "The Federal Trade Commission has uncovered the power...
Despite the optimistic view taken by those in command of Harvard debating, an analysis of the past forensic season would not seem to justify such an adjective as "healthy". While debating officials paint a radiant future for Harvard debating, the drab record of this year fore-shadows no such promise. On the contrary, the evidence on this season's calendar points in a series of incidents which reflect little credit upon an activity so rich in tradition as Harvard debating has been...
