Last year Irving Ter Bush, founder of Brooklyn's big Bush Terminal Co., regained control of his corporation after a long, confused, mysterious proxy battle (TIME, March 23, 1933). Few weeks later Bush Terminal subsided into receivership. Last fortnight the receivers asked Mr. Bush to resign as head of the various subsidiaries (which are not in receivership). Mr. Bush angrily refused. Last week the receivers, voting the stock in the subsidiaries, unceremoniously ousted Mr. Bush, put in their own managements. Irving Ter Bush retained the dubious title of president & chairman of the parent company, whose affairs are dictated...

A third person succeeded in convincing soft-hearted Beecher that he had actually wrecked Tilton's home through not having been on guard against Mrs. Tilton. Trapped into signing a memorandum which sounded like...
...Government was furious. Nobody knew that Samuel Insull still had $10.000, unless, perhaps, it was the Ministry of the Interior. Premier Tsaldaris promptly forced Minister of the Interior M. J. Mountsourides to resign. Greek public opinion was outraged at this slur on the nation's honor, at this insult to a friendly power. Admiral Hadjikyriakos. commander of the Greek navy, radioed the malodorous Maiotis to return to Piraeus instantly. The ship swung round. Samuel Insull, smiling happily under his new black mustache, thought he was bound for Abyssinia, one of the few spots in all the world where...
