Damage Without Injury. Immediate aim of the suit, which Commonwealth & Southern's Wendell P. Willkie and his associates had planned as a last stand in the three-year-old legal fight against TVA, was to stop the sale of electricity generated by the three TVA darns already built (including Wilson Dam started during the War and transferred from the War Department to TVA in 1933); to restrict de-velopment of four dams now under construction and a fifth authorized but not yet begun; to prevent TVA from getting Congressional funds for four more dams.

Miami has also witnessed judicious pruning. Two months ago it had three dailies. John S. Knight of the Akron Beacon-Journal bought Frank B. Shutts's Herald, then decided there was room for only the Herald and James M. Cox's News to operate at a profit under present rising costs.

The three-year-old Santa Anita (Calif.) track currently gives the biggest, $100,000. Suffolk Downs (Mass.) and Narragansett Park (R. I.), both comparatively new plants, plan equal purses next season. To make sure that great horses will enter these races, handicappers at new tracks narrow the limits of weights imposed on the entries, so that a very good horse need not carry much more poundage than...
...York's Rikers Island jail 44-year-old Socialite Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor Dick Fiermonte visited her husband, 30-year-old onetime Pugilist Enzo Fiermonte.
