...more I thought about the matter the madder I got. On arriving at the Alabama State line I made a bee line for the nearest highway patrol station, asking what fees were necessary, I was told that the State was free to commercial travellers. They then asked if I had been swindled in Mississippi and told me that it was a sweet racket which had been going on since 1934. These Alabama highway patrol boys make it a point to warn all travellers from their side and told me that even so, many travellers are "arrested" WHILE ON THEIR...
...Ernest Gruening, able director of the Department of the Interior's Division of Territories & Island Possessions, thought he had struck a truce with San Juan's Bishop Edwin Vincent Byrne, opened up 15 birth control stations. The Bishop's roars soon drove him to cover. Last week Bishop Byrne was roaring again because both houses of Puerto Rico's Legislature had just passed a bill permitting physicians to tell their patients about birth control.

On the contrary this show of Scholarship was judged so likely to raise the kudos of Red Mao among the Chinese masses that strict censorship killed the story entirely out of all newsorgans controlled by the Nanking Government, and it was forbidden even to print that a Red had done anything so estimable as do homage to an Emperor of the glorious past. As a matter of curious Chinese fact, the Red Lin Po-chu of last week...
...early games to semi-pro teams in Cuba; Yankee Outfielder Joe Di Maggio's older Brother Vince who tried out at third base with the Boston Bees; and a 19-year-old St. Louis Cardinal catcher named Arnold ("Mickey") Owen. About Brother Di Maggio one school of thought says that he is a longer hitter than his brother; another says that he lacks competitive "guts" and that the Bees' President Robert Quinn hired him mainly because his name should have box-office value. Of the three rookies, Owen attracted most attention by impudently remarking of his team...
