Half a mile farther down the mountain stood a small tent-city where a Marine detachment and Secret Service men shivered all the chill night through. Before the Little White House several members of the detachment stood guard. Presently up the wooded lane with a Secret Service man at the wheel drove a little touring car bearing a 1935 Georgia license plate whose sole symbol was "R." Behind it came more Secret Servants in a big Pierce-Arrow bearing a District of Columbia license and another plate, emblazoned "USSS." From the door of the Little White House, President Roosevelt emerged...
...Russia the Soviet secret service has had a long and fascinating history, increasing in respectability with the years. Members of the dread Tsarist Okhrana were remarkably successful in insinuating themselves into the Cheka of Lenin which conducted the original so-called "Red Terror."

It sandwiched learned, readable issues on automobiles, cinema, wines, books between explosive exposures of "The Truth About the Saar," ''Mysterious Deaths," "The Masters of the Wrorld."

Last week Pope Pius XI, bland breaker of precedents, let it be announced that he will hold a secret consistory Dec. 16, a public consistory Dec. 19, to create 20 new Cardinals. In recent times such an act has been paralleled only by the 1911 consistory at which Pius X created 19 new Princes of the Church. The Sacred College has dwindled to 49 members-24 Italian, 25 non-Italian. The additions to be made by Pius XI will reverse the balance, 39 to 30, will bring the number to the highest point in the Church's history, only...
