...repudiated his Berlin State Opera contract which had four more years to run (TIME, June 19). Fortunately for Klemperer and for Los Angeles. William Andrews Clark Jr. was aware of the big German's capabilities. Mr. Clark had supported the Los Angeles Orchestra for 14 years on the copper fortune left him by his father, the late fierce-whiskered Senator from Montana. Last spring he announced that he could do so for only one more season. Klemperer needed a job; Los Angeles needed a strong conductor to build up public subscriptions...
...counsel for Phelps Dodge Corp. Arizona mining interests. The Tucson Citizen is owned and managed by onetime (1909-13) Postmaster-General Frank Harris Hitchcock. Last year Publisher Hitchcock abruptly discontinued the Citizen's editorial page, recently resigned as Republican National Committeeman for Arizona.

At the age of 12 Son John, big of body, loud of lungs, went into the mines as a mule-driver. Later he mined silver in New Mexico, copper in Arizona, gold in Colorado.

In 1908 old Sam Gompers visited Springfield, spotted...
...forecast for all Southern Germany and Austria. Bottles filled with Nazi leaflets no longer came down the Danube (TIME, Sept. 18), but Austrian Nazis have discovered a new game. With a nail, hammer and patience it is possible to change the geometric design on Austrian five and two groschen copper pieces to a swastika. The Treasury announced that these mutilated coins would not be accepted as legal tender. Most amusing was the Battle of the Bands. On the frontier near Innsbruck stands a great mountain, the Zugspitze. Up the Bavarian side clambered a sweating, puffing Nazi brass band...
What Mr. Ford proposed to do about it he kept strictly to himself all last week. He was on vacation in his 16-room, copper-roofed "cabin" (cost: $100,000) at the Huron Mountain Club in the wilds of northern Michigan on Lake Superior. Son Edsel was taking his ease at Seal Harbor, Maine. One day the elder Ford was driven in one of his V-8's 35 mi. to Marquette to telephone Edsel. He put the call through from a private room at the Northland Hotel. As he ambled out, newshawks swooped down...
