Late one afternoon last week a lone man, following a porter carrying his bags, traipsed through Washington's Union Station among the crowd hurrying to catch the 6 o'clock train to Manhattan. In his seat in the parlor car he was just one more traveler. Those who failed to recognize his square-cut features, his shag of greying hair, his solid bulk, little dreamed that they were witnessing the departure of a famed citizen on the greatest adventure of his life. William Edgar Borah, after 30 years of uncertain thought, was for the first time actually starting...
Ohio Gun. As the opening gun of the Borah campaign in the Ohio primary (May 12), the Youngstown meeting was important if not very inspiring. Snow kept away several hundred reserved-seat holders. Instead of the 4,500 people expected, 2,400 were in the audience. Worse still, Candidate Borah was in need of the night's rest he had lost on the train. Final damper was the Machine Age. Like many another politician, Senator Borah has accepted the adage that modern campaign is a duel by radio. In one of his first major radio trials, in Brooklyn last...
Spain has an extreme political fringe to the Right, its only true Fascist Party, called Falange Española (Spanish Phalanx) which did not win a single Cortes seat in the election. Its chief is the handsome, 34-year-old lawyer-son of Spain's famed Dictator under the monarchy, the late General Primo de Rivera.

In general the standardized supership will resemble the famed Douglas DC2 and the new DST, but it will be nearly twice the former's size, with 140-ft. wingspread, 95-ft. length, 25-ton weight, four motors. Able to seat 40 passengers or sleep 20, it will have a top speed of 230 m.p.h., a cruising speed of 210 at 75% horsepower, will be able to fly coast-to-coast with two stops in 13 hours, from New York to New Orleans non-stop in less than five. For safety...
...shells. In the Jayvee boat other than the Atherton-Gardiner swap, no changes were made either, until after the practice yesterday, when Roger Cutler was shifted out of stroke to the number 2 oar and John Clark put in his place. Roosevelt will move out of the number 2 seat to take over Clark's place at 6. The third boat stroked by Ed Simmons, the pace-setter in the 1935 Yale race, has exchanged a couple of men with the number IV boat, but when the latter boat is dissolved in a day or so Whiteside will probably select...
