...Raymond Clapper and Westbrook Pegler. Publisher Howard went on record in 1932 as a friend of the New Deal's "principles," chiefly because he believes that they alone are sufficiently resilient to give but not shatter under the pressure of what he sees as a world-wide Leftward swing. Does his present critical attitude indicate that he has fundamentally changed his mind about Roosevelt & Co.? Last week, best answer seemed to be that one of cagey Roy Howard's strongest policies is never to let a politician feel too sure...
...color replaces black & white photography, the change will be less abrupt than that from silent pictures to sound, partly because color requires no new exhibiting apparatus. Nonetheless, the swing to color, barely perceptible last year, will be highly noticeable in 1936-37. The Trail of the Lonesome Pine and Dancing Pirate were last season's only colored features. Next season United Artists will make six, Twentieth Century-Fox two, Paramount two, Warner, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Amkino one each...
With a ten-gallon hat stowed away in the luggage on his special train, President Roosevelt rolled out of Washington one midnight last week for a 4,000-mile swing through the Southwest.

With "swing" more popular than ever before, the old Dixieland Band was about to reorganize, set out on the road again...
...Jack McLean at the 20th hole but, in another terrific match the next day, he had lost to James Ferrier. It was Ferrier now who seemed entirely capable of taking the title back to New South Wales. Amateur champion of Australia at 22, a huge young man whose crude swing is capable of propelling the ball 350 yd., he had won most of his matches with disheartening ease. When he disposed of Alec Hill, who had beaten beefy Cyril Tolley in the quarterfinals, there was no one left between him and the title except Scotland's stylish Hector Thomson...
