...highly selective show. The 100 paintings included works by private painters as well as painters on whom the Corporate State has set the seal of official approval by commissioning them to do frescoes for public buildings and for the Italian Pavilion at the Paris International Exposition last summer. Among artists represented were Severini, a onetime Futurist who has come back to Tuscany; Pirandello, son of the playwright; Carra, another Futurist who now paints slablike figure studies; Campigli, a respected abstractionist and fresco painter; Cagli, who uses with more talent than most the prevailing umbers, reds and sombre blues...
Louis. The possessor of that fist, Germany's beetle-browed Max Schmeling, presumably was warming up for an opportunity to win the title next summer from Champion Louis. After he had knocked out Louis, Schmeling thought he was to meet Jim Braddock for the championship, but Braddock believed he could make more money fighting Louis. Schmeling's opponent this week, a burly blond named Harry Thomas, was a comparative unknown, a college graduate who had been a professional baseball player and railroad engineer, had knocked out 44 of his 56 opponents in five years of professional boxing...
Pope Pius XI once referred to God as the "Principal Newsmaker," but few churchmen conceive of the Deity as a Great Editor.

The subsequent decline in other industries brought worse news, for railroad revenue began to fall on most fronts. Car-loadings are now some 20% under last year at the same season. With 28% of U. S. trackage already in the courts, the railroads were quick to clamor for Government help in the form of a general 15% rise in railroad freight rates...
...famed financiers and business men, President Herbert Fleishhacker of Anglo California National Bank, had been sued by stockholders of the bank "to obtain an accounting and recover secret profits on behalf of said bank." When his case went to trial in San Francisco's post-office building last summer (TIME, Sept. 6), no San Francisco newspaper cared to mention the fact. Last week, however, when Federal Judge Adolphus Frederick St. Sure finally handed down his decision, local papers could no longer ignore the matter. For mild Judge St. Sure found "that Herbert Fleishhacker violated his trust to the Anglo...
