More alarming than any other incident was the arrival in Danzig of the same husky young Germans who "toured" Czecho-Slovakia and Memel just before Adolf Hitler moved in. Estimates of Danzig's "tourists" last week ranged from 1,000 to 30,000. Some of them wore Storm Troopers' uniforms. Danzigers who have been serving in the German Army also turned up back in Danzig, having received "furloughs." Danzig police leaves were canceled...
Died. Daniel S. Roosevelt, 21, nephew of Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Bronson Harriman Rumsey, 22, son of the late Sculptor Charles Gary Rumsey* and the late Mary Harriman Rumsey,† in a plane crash; near Guadalupe Victoria, Puebla. Mexico. Belittling storm warnings, Flier Roosevelt, on vacation from Harvard, took off from a Mexico City airport with a girl companion, Carlotta Constantine, and Schoolfellow Rumsey, headed for Veracruz, ran into a storm, crashed in a forced landing. Catapulted clear of the wreckage, Carlotta Constantine was taken to a Mexico City hospital with fractures of left...
When the Führer was released from jail, young, jobless Himmler joined up with the slowly forming Storm Troops. Soon Storm Troop Leader Ernst Roehm (a notorious homosexual) and the Führer quarreled.

Stripling. Ernst Roehm was persuaded to return to Germany in 1930. He found that during his absence a formidable black-uniformed army of 100,000 had come into being, that the Führer's affections had been shifted away from the 2,000,000 Storm Troops to the 55, that the Storm Troops were being relegated back to the gutter whence they had originally sprung. And although Leader Himmler was nominally Leader Roehm's subordinate, actually Heinrich Himmler took his orders direct from Adolf Hitler himself...
...monumental joke. In the last decade he has become a boisterous, likable candidate for the honor which awaits any artist who will seize and work mightily with the material of America. Benton has never painted a picture with the dramatic power of John Steuart Curry's Line Storm or Tornado. Critics have found his color and texture slapdash and harsh compared to that of Iowa's deliberate Grant Wood. But Benton's style, an exuberant combination of cartooning draftsmanship, affectionate realism and tightly organized, undulating pattern, is the most imaginative and distinct of the three...
