...clock last Monday evening Sergeant Fulgencio Batista and other enlisted men of Camp Columbia, Army post where the revolution against the Machado regime originated, called upon their officers, politely asked some to submit to arrest, others to go to their homes. The officers complied. Sergeant Batista became "chief of staff" of a revolt which swiftly spread to Army outposts, to the Navy, to the rural guards. Under the full moon enlisted men rushed machine guns to significant Havana corners. Civilian Havana slept. No one was known to have been killed as immediate result of the new, non-commissioned officers...

How for example, is one to explain succinctly the character of a man who would in one moment defy a whole city, as Jackson did when he placed New Orleans under martial law, and who would in the next submit meekly to the sentence of Judge Dominick Hall, one of the major victims of that defiance?

They were ordered to submit plans for reorganization. Meantime they put on a campaign to obtain releases from their guarantees and the state formed New York Guaranteed Mortgage Protection Corp. When the companies' plans for reorganization were all rejected this quasi-public protective committee went to work. Last week its plans were published...
...glad about last week's shoot-the-chutes. He felt that values had been climbing at an abnormally rapid rate, with speculators whooping up prices for quick easy profits. This rise had hampered the progress of the New Deal. Industries, beguiled by "prosperity" stock quotations, were reluctant to submit recovery codes to Washington. A thoroughgoing deflation of overspeculation seemed wholesome and proper to the President...
