...Burton H. Pugh, Mr. G. W. Thain, Mr. J. Wm. Cummins seem to be having a fit of indigestion over the publication of the picture on the front cover. May I suggest a dose of Carter's Little Liver Pills? Aren't some of the things that Americans hold dear the rights of free speech, free press...
...belle of New Orleans. Unfortunately for Miss Rainer's aspirations and the entertainment value of this picture, a great deal of cinema film has run through projection machines since old New Orleans was first presented as the epitome of U. S. historical glamor. Nowadays it does not seem much better than a bore, and all the flounced dresses, veranda columns and old plantation dialogue in Hollywood-on which The Toy Wife appears to be trying to corner the market-cannot completely change it. Produced with MGM's customarily scrupulous attention to visual detail, the picture relates with considerable...
...wounded, widespread destruction. Following week the Spanish Leftist cities of Alicante and Granollers were blasted unmercifully.

In London last week the International Rubber Regulation Committee cut the third quarter export quota to 45% of basic allowances. Setting of the new quota, lowest since the Committee was formed, halted an abrupt decline in prices-19.7? a Ib. down to 11.3? since last year. Also the International Tin Committee ordered tin exports cut from 55% to 45% of standard tonnages. In Washington, Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace said he would soon reduce sugar quotas...
