...such volume that the Soviet Union's offerings were virtually setting the European market prices for these grains. In the Ukraine, "Granary of Russia," Soviet secret police last week swept into Zolochev, hunting for "wreckers." Soon the chief of the regional agricultural department, the chief of a tractor station and a collective farm chairman were lined up and shot-with prospects bright that they will be replaced by members of Stalin's favored Youth...
North Beach Airport's present 105 acres lie on the south shore of Flushing Bay, eight miles by road northeast of Grand Central Station (in whose shadow most commercial airlines have their midcity passenger terminals), across the East River and the new Tri-Borough Bridge. Although $2,358,000 went into the land, runways, hangars, seaplane ramps, beacons & facilities for servicing visiting planes when Curtiss-Wright built North Beach in 1929. only schools, private flyers and taxis patronized the field. No line made it a terminus. In 1934 the City of New York agreed...
...business by the surpassing eagerness of industries to become his clients, and from the aviation industry by the clamor which attended several deals attributed to him, Son Roosevelt has lately been more or less quietly employed as vice-president of Hearst Radio, Inc. in charge of its four southwest stations in Texas and Oklahoma.

Bishop, its present owner, was unopposed, the hearing lasted but a couple of hours. Radioman Roosevelt testified that the purchase price was $57,000, $12,500 of which had been placed in escrow, the rest payable when the F.C.C. makes its decision; that KFJZ was being bought by his wife, but that under Texas law husband and wife share jointly in estate...
Hundred-watt stations are penny-antes in the gigantic game of radio, and opinion was divided last week whether Elliott can make much money from them. KABC, for example, is housed in an unimpressive seven-room suite, plays many phonograph records, has only one specialty-night baseball broadcasting. It has made a little money. As for KFJZ, Elliott last week told the F.C.C. that his wife knows everyone in Fort Worth and that the station's business is already increasing in anticipation of her ownership...
