...gingerly about Wall Street for a long time. Several attempts were made to toss it to the public, but in the end Fox Film Corp. came to rest on the broad lap of Chase National Bank (TIME, May 2, 1932 et ante). Chase through its oldtime officer Edward Richmond Tinker tried to run the company from Wall Street, but after four months it called in Paramount's able Sidney Kent, made him president. Chairman Tinker stayed on to work out a financial reorganization. Last week Chase was ready to abandon its position as a patient creditor and frankly take...
...When in 1920 New York passed an enforcement act, it repealed its excise laws for liquor regulation.

The better to send forth cod to hungry consumers, last week Gorton-Pew opened a new plant which can turn out 48,000 10-oz. cans of ready-to-fry codfish cakes...
...Later RKO directors elected Mr. Aylesworth president in place of Hiram Brown. RKO is better off than it was a year ago. So is Universal, run by old Carl Laemmle's smart son "Junior," who started the monster cycle. Most extraordinary personnel changes were in Fox, where Edward Richmond Tinker, long with Chase National Bank, became president to succeed Harley L. Clarke, onetime utilities tycoon. Six months later Mr. Tinker became board chairman, was succeeded a president by Sidney Kent, onetime Paramount general manager. Winfield Sheehan, who last winter suffered a nervous breakdown and was reported out of Fox, last...
