...circuit judge during the copper mine strikes in Michigan before the War. A. F. of L. belatedly entered John W. Smith, who was Detroit's mayor in the middle 1920s and has been trying to get back into this office off & on ever since. Throughout the campaign the sole issue...
Strictly vegetarian and teetotaler Adolf Hitler made the great exception last week of nibbling clear through the State banquet he gave Benito Mussolini and toasting his guest in sweet German champagne.

In after dinner conversations among Germans and Italians in the suites of the two leaders one theme loudly, confidently recurred: "The days when Britain and France were the arbiters of Europe are over.

When the five-man SECommission was created in 1934 for the sole purpose of reforming Wall Street, worried speculators were mollified when one of their number-Joseph Patrick Kennedy-was made Chairman.

F. of L. has not been...
...Sole worthy political foes of the Hepburn Liberals in this election are the Ontario Conservatives. These are led by stolidly handsome and inarticulate The Honorable William Earl Rowe, M. P., chosen disciple of the nearest approach to Herbert Hoover ever produced in Canada, namely pompous Richard Bedford Bennett who as Prime Minister disastrously lost the last Dominion election (TIME, Oct. 21, 1935). Mr. Bennett, having picked Mr. Rowe to achieve high office, had King George V make him a Privy Councilor and groomed him carefully, but quite failed to develop a popular Conservative leader in Ontario...
