...disclosures and therefrom argue for stricter Federal regulation of interstate power. As the Commission's hearings started Phase II last week in a schoolroom atmosphere of charts and maps, who should be called to the witness stand but Smith Wildman Brookhart Jr., the Iowa Senator's slender, soft-voiced, studious son, aged 25. When the Senator arrived in Washington in 1926, Son Brookhart had been given a clerical job with the Trade Commission. Graduated from George Washington Uni versity in 1929, he was promoted to the rank of a Commission economist and investigator. Married, father of a year...
...Press was indignant. Germania, the Cabinet organ, flayed "M. Briand's astoundingly sharp answer to a calm and purely objective speech by the German Foreign Minister." French Plan. The Curtius-Briand quarrel brought United-States-of-Europe talk to an abrupt halt. It also weakened the slender chance that the League Council (which can only act by unanimous vote) would be able to get anywhere with its May agenda.

Probably an abler artist than Peggy Bacon is William Henry Dyson of England who hung more of his brilliantly bitten etchings at the Ferargil Galleries last week. Grey-haired, slender and 48. he was born in Ballarat, Australia, still speaks with a rich bush-twang. He emerged from the War a witty cynic with an artistic manner reminiscent of Beerbohm the Exquisite, but with an even surer command of line. Possibly to make the Beerbohm parallel less marked he adopted etching as his medium two years ago. Like Max, half the effect of his pictures is in the written...
Except when he is trying to be tough, Lew Ayres acts quietly and naturally, but he is not a light-heavyweight, not even a distant likeness of a pugilist: in spite of his efforts to make prominent the muscles of his slender body, greased to show high relief under the lights, one never loses the suspicion that his manager, Robert Arm- strong, an athletic young man who looks something like Jack Sharkey, could slap him over anytime for no purse. Absurdities include a gymnasium shot in which a training fighter swings wildly at his spar- ring partner's chin...
