Publicity. Stench in the nostrils of most conscientious U. S. citizens is the confirmed U. S. practice of trying cases in the newspapers and on the radio while they are still sub judice in the courtroom. The 1934-35 trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann carried the practice to almost unbelievable lengths. A.B.A., convening in Los Angeles last year, withheld indignant comment only because the trial was still sub judice. Last week a special Committee of the Criminal Law Section headed by onetime Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Oscar Hallam, felt free to let off steam...
...track soon after lunch. His companion is usually his crony and political ally, "Hinky Dink" Kenna. Occasionally, Bathhouse John rides to the track on the front seat of his limousine because the back seat is filled with feed for his horses, to which he gives such names as Sub-Committee, Honored Sir, Official. Why they win so few races is a mystery to Chicago sports writers, who have blamed everything from their trainers to their owner's political acumen. Roguish Girl's victory last week inspired characteristic Coughlin poetry...
...story is the long struggle of the Southern sharecropper for the right to buy food, gin & sell his part of the cotton crop wherever he wants, instead of where the landlord wants.

...quarreling Nazi cliques are a group of bachelor bodyguards. Their chief is Lieutenant Friedrich Wilhelm Bruckner, 6 ft. 4 in. tall, who sleeps outside Hitler's door. When Hitler drove out in his huge Mercedes-Benz, the man at the wheel was usually Julius Schreck, muscular, slit-eyed sub-commander of the Schutzstaffel, who wore an imitation Hitler mustache. Substitute chauffeur was Erich Kempka, 25, Schutzstaffel captain. Since even Prussian Premier Goring and Minister of Propaganda Goebbels cannot see the Realmleader without an appointment, Hitler's bodyguards are the men in Germany closest...
When the tournament ended, Jones and Little were out of the picture, and two seasoned money-playing professionals from Chicago had taken their place. On the first day, in a cold wind that stiffened contestants' fingers, "Light Horse" Harry Cooper posted a 70, the day's only sub-par score. A 69 for his second round left him five strokes ahead of the field. His third round was a creditable 71, but by this time, tall, willowy Horton Smith, who won the first Augusta Masters' Tournament in 1934, was on his heels, only three strokes behind...
