...listeners last week was his onetime aide, Hugh Johnson, who last month started a series of 15-minute broadcasts four times a week for Grove's Bromo Quinine, in addition to his daily Scripps-Howard column in which he has become one of the New Deal's sharpest critics. During the "fireside chat" Hugh Johnson took notes on what the President said.

Dr. Prof. L&233;vitt occurred in 1932 when his Independent Republican Party, with a Prohibition platform, drew enough votes from Boss J.

Foreigners in Egypt are not forced to pay taxes to the Egyptian Government; foreigners involved in criminal cases go before their own consular courts, while civil cases go before mixed courts on which foreign representatives sit. Specially oppressive to Egypt are the fiscal capitulations because more than $12,000,000,000 of foreign money is invested in that country, and owing to tax immunities the Egyptian Government is deprived of what it considered a large legitimate income. The U. S. has nearly $15,000,000 invested...
