...that so long as they had to fight downstate they had better have a more effective campaigner, Bosses Kelly and Nash gave Bill Dieterich his walking papers. Their candidate, they indicated, would be U. S. District Attorney Michael L. Igoe.

On the surface of events in Berlin this week, Adolf Hitler had won by a single bold stroke a major victory of his career.

Instead the No. 2 Nazi, who has long and almost openly aspired to succeed Blomberg both as War Minister and as Field Marshal, was fobbed off last week...
...John R. Clark '38, who rowed at 4 in spring races last year, and was shifted to the jayvees in the Yale race. Converted to a starboard oar, he and William N.
