None came. Acting as official spokesman, a London banker friend of the Lindberghs announced that they were in England on a six-month immigration permit, had come solely for ''peace " rest.'' Charles, Anne and small Jon Lindbergh kept to their three-room suite, behind locked doors guarded by a private detective. Not even their waiter was permitted to see them: he carried a key to their sitting-room, left food there while the beleaguered family lurked in their bedrooms...
...speech that will presumably belabor the New Deal. To Mr. Smith last week went an invitation from Mrs. Roosevelt to spend the night at the White House when he is in town. Mr. Smith, a good tactician, politely excused himself. When the Press noted this byplay, a spokesman for the President announced: "This is not the first time that Mr. Smith had been invited to be an overnight guest at the White House.

In 1925 Mack made $9,400,000, a figure never since equaled, though sales in 1929 were $57,000,000. Last year Mack made...
...great office the cares of which would spoil their evenings together, with Dr. Hanfstaengl at the piano and the often-exhausted Realmleader drinking in music and rest. Since much of his background is American, the Doktor functions, with great strain and effort, as the Nazi Party's spokesman to the English-speaking press. His troubles arise chiefly because journalists whom he trustfully presents to his friend Adolf so often write unflattering articles. In his way perhaps the wittiest...
