...Douglas B18 bombers flying 180 miles southward from Langley Field, Va., to Fort Bragg. Ordered to fly at 4,000 feet the first night, to accustom the observers, bombers later went up to 18,000, 20,000 and 24,000 feet heights now practicable thanks to a new, secret bomb sight. Without fail, civilian groundlings heard or saw, got warnings to Fort Bragg within three minutes.

Promptly Japanese newsorgans announced that Marshal Bluecher had been not only arrested but had committed suicide...
...total of its U. S. Government holdings - $21,000,000. That left $39,000,000 of miscellaneous investments. Allied long claimed that divulging these holdings would hurt its trade advantages. Last week it looked as though SEC, in persuading Allied to tell all, had promised to keep certain facts secret.
