S. citizen with a $5,000,000 land claim against the Cuban Government (TIME, April 29), last week hired what he considered two Big Names to help him pull his claim through to payment.

...Hoover special for Brule left Washington on Saturday evening. Newsgatherers joked about some "lively and impressive impromptu ovations" which National Committeeman C. Bascom Slemp had been overheard to say should be arranged at station platforms across the land. When the train reached Baltimore, this sly, Slempish suggestion was proved superfluous.
