...January morning Investigator Raymond stepped into his car, touched the starter, was blown out of his garage by a crude pipe bomb wired under the hood. Investigator Raymond, who recovered after 150 pieces of steel and glass had been picked out of him, had much to tell his old friends on the homicide squad. Investigator Raymond and Lawyer Rose had been digging into the connections between the Shaw administration and the city's biggest gamblers. Some of these, according to witnesses Lawyer Rose put on the stand, had given Harry Munson-henchman and onetime campaign manager of Mayor Frank...

Last week, too, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau revealed that the group which has been devising a uniform bank examination was also brewing substantial modifications of bond ratings and eligibility...
...American Society of Mechanical Engineers has 14,000 members, among them Bethlehem Steel's Charles M. Schwab. Mr. Schwab was president of the society in 1927 when its council decided to enlarge its index of engineering articles. Between 1927 and 1934, A. S. M. E. lost $215,000 on the index. Last week, in New York Supreme Court, Justice William H.
