On deck a Rebel seaman snapped away industriously with his camera while the Loyalist crew huddled abaft the conning tower, while an overloaded lifeboat was filled with survivors, while the submarine dived straight down leaving the waters dotted with men swimming for their lives...
Origin of last week's to-do was an article signed by Publisher Frank A. Tichenor which appeared in the October issue of his Aero Digest. In it this stern critic of the New Deal told two complicated, interwoven tales of intrigue. The substance of Tale...
