...pull the country out of Depression. But "General"' Brown was persistent. He lined up most of the Cabinet for a Prohibition change. He hammered home to the President the necessity of the Wet vote if the G. O. P. hoped to carry the North and East. Wearing rubber boots he waded in against the faction of his party that still wanted to pussyfoot. Finally the President was convinced. He consented to the broad proposition that his party should somehow resubmit the issue to the people...
...recall. He remembered Frank R. Fageol, the Kent, Ohio bus builder who was a potent Equitable backer. But he did not remember Mr. Fageol's Vice President Charles B. Rose (now president of America-La France & Foam-ite Corp.) or President William O'Neil of General Tire & Rubber Co., both of whom contributed heavily to Equitable's $282,000 promotion fund. Two weeks before, Mr. O'Neil had testified that he and most of the Equitable promoters had joined the dapper Mayor at a merry "old clothes" party the night after Equitable's franchise...

Senator Hastings was put on the syndicate's payroll for $1,000 a month, on General Tire's payroll for another $1,000. He was "loaned" $10,000, promised one-third ($700,000 worth) of Equitable's common stock to dispose of as he liked...
...picture-on-the-pants will not be in its present location. The proud Explorers Club last week concluded that mortgages on their new eight-story building were too heavy to tote through Depression. The late James Bishop Ford, vice president of the U. S. Rubber Co., who assembled most of the money to begin construction of the clubhouse, died aged 84 (TIME, April 9, 1928) without arranging for funds to complete it. The clubhouse carries a $225,000 6% first mortgage which must be repaid May 24, 1933. A second mortgage of $200,000 at 6%, mostly held by Explorers...
