...into his own hands, asked for bids on 25 small, cheap, safe airplanes for use by the Government's aeronautical inspectors. Last week when the bids were opened in Washington, only one of the 16 submitted approached $700. Safety Air Transportation of Indianapolis offered to build a metal stub-winged plane...
...Tardieu called M. Chautemps a liar, an associate of criminals and a forger. He charged him with forging the stub of a Stavisky check for 300,000 francs to make it appear that this sum had been paid to a person called "Tardi," promptly assumed by the Left Press to be Tardieu.

This one was to be most casual-a two-day cruise off the New England coast for calibration of the ship's radio compass; a trifling job compared...
Last Sunday evening President Roosevelt sat comfortably down before a microphone in his upstairs study at the White House, ground out a cigaret stub and proceeded to broadcast to the nation a neighborly 15-minute talk on banks & banking. On the morrow the country's sound banks were to start reopening. During the sensational week they had all been closed by his decree, the President had done some extraordinary things. Now in A. B. C. fashion he wanted to explain his actions to his countrymen and persuade them, by simple word and confident voice, not to repeat their...
