Third Deficiency. In 1937, Congress appropriated a total of $9,400,000,000. Not counting last year's $2,237,000,000 for paying the veterans' bonus, this was $1,290,000,000 more than in 1936. Final item of the 1937 total was last week's Third Deficiency Bill of $87,622,634. Passage of the bill included a victory for the House Liberal bloc headed by Texas' noisy Maury Maverick, who wanted $20,000,000 for an experimental Government farm tenancy program, $1,800,000 for the National Labor Relations Board, got both...
...their rooms more or less dressed-had settled four inches. Most of Manila's buildings, designed to withstand quakes, are built of bolted timbers. They stood the shock better than old Spanish stone houses and churches outside the town, many of whose walls and roofs crumbled. Before total damage had been estimated, Commonwealth-President Manuel Quezon-who had been dressing for a banquet in his Malacanan palace when the earthquake struck-proclaimed a state of emergency, threatened severe penalties for anyone who tried to utilize the coincidence of the earthquake and the influx of refugees for profiteering...
...third such loan this year, the tenth since Economics Minister Schacht began to monopolize the capital market in 1935. Although only one-seventh was subscribed by week's end, the loan when completed will bring the Reich's borrowing during the past two years to a total of 6,518,000,000 marks ($2,622,191,400), a sizable sum for Henry Morgenthau Jr., colossal for Dr. Schacht...
...William Procter, who made candles, and James Gamble, who made soap, joined forces in a shed in Cincinnati, set about selling their products from door to door with one assistant. Last week P. & G., now the largest U. S. maker of soap and allied products-with 10,000 employes, total assets of $133.000.000, net income last year of $16,000,000-distinguished itself by making no fuss whatever over the fact that it is one of the few great U. S. corporations with a century of history behind...
...Total Hookless production has never been revealed, for Colonel Walker and Son Walter Delawater Walker are incurably publicity-shy, but zippermen estimate it as about 35,000,000 zippers a year, or 75% of total U. S. production. Hookless' only worry is Japan, which has jumped into zippers and, despite a 66% tariff, can still undersell Hookless by 25% in the U. S. Last year Japan sold 26,000,000 zippers in the U. S. But Hookless has little to fear. FORTUNE estimated Hookless gross at $4,500,000 in 1931, and it is presumably over...
