...Federal Trade Commission has been investigating the possible existence of price-fixing and collusion in the cement industry for several months. Last week Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. announced that just to be on the safe side President Roosevelt had ordered that cement purchasing by all Federal agencies be concentrated in the Treasury's Procurement Division, that all bidders on cement and other building materials be required "to certify that there has been no collusion with other bidders...
After finishing Fools for Scandal, Producer LeRoy, a son-in-law of Triumvir Harry M. Warner, left the family plot for a production berth at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, safe from barbed thrusts about nepotism. Sawed-off, narrow-eyed, cigar-waving Producer LeRoy is still hailed, at 37, as the Boy Wonder. At five he fell three stories in the San Francisco earthquake, landed unhurt on a mattress. At nine, engaged at $2.50 a week in a stage production of Barbara Frietchie to watch for the Rebels from a prop tree, he fell out of the tree, got a raise because...
Federal agents in the Metropolitan area reported that the situation was intensified by the disappearance of William Carfare '39, president of Lampy.

The moment was therefore favorable for revived talk of a U. S. Salzburg...
...Frenchman had written The Forsyte Saga, that protracted story of family life might have been no shorter, but it is a safe bet that readers would have been well informed about the Forsytes' sexual life. In The Pasquier Chronicles Georges Duhamel has done for his temperamental, crockery-smashing Pasquiers what Galsworthy did for his stiff-lipped Forsytes- told their tedious story with too many words-but he has enlivened it with Gallic interludes of scandals, passions and continental amours, any one of which would have been a major blot on the Forsyte escutcheon. Otherwise a puffy, ill-proportioned novel...
