John Wesley Hanes, 46, is a well-dressed, fun-loving North Carolina squire. The Haneses of Winston-Salem, N. C. are many and substantial. John Wesley is one who, after Yale (1915), made really good in Wall Street as a leading partner of C. D. Barney & Co. He cashed in on marketing Winston-Salem's R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. (Camel) stock. Relatively, he survived the 1929 crash better than most Wall Streeters. He kept in touch with North Carolina politics and his old friend Democrat Max Gardner (Governor...
Just a year ago John Hanes bobbed up as "Wall Street's man" on the Securities & Exchange Commission. The Senate confirmed him last week as Under Secretary of the Treasury, the job given him last fall by Secretary Morgenthau. With Mr. Morgenthau resting in Florida, John Hanes became, after less than a year of Government service, the Treasury's acting head.

They agree, for instance, that if the Budget is not balanced some day soon...
...unemployed New Zealanders poured down Queen Street, Auckland, smashing windows, looting and hooting. Three hundred were arrested, 130 wounded, $500,000 worth of property ruined.

The 1932 mob wanted things they had no money for; last week's mob wanted the right to buy things they had money for. In that turnabout was summarized the New Zealand revolution of the last three years...
Never a P-D legman, ireful Editor Coghlan often wanders down from the eighth to the third (city room) floor to wrangle happily with reporters. He takes a boisterous but effective part in the periodic poker games of the "Twelfth Street Country Club," a group of P-D oldtimers. When he built his present house in the Ladue district he asked his friends if they thought he was getting too near a creek. They said he was. He built there anyway. The creek made him mad, too-came right into his cellar...
Jesse James (Twentieth Century-Fox). From 1901 to 1903, 121 "dime novels" (price, 5?) about Jesse Woodson James were published by Street & Smith, sold about 6,000,000 copies. Last week, to coincide with the release of the $2,000,000 cinema epic, the original publishers reprinted No. 1 of the series, Jesse James, the Outlaw...
