...inflate or not to inflate was no longer a question last week. The only question: Will inflation succeed? Upon the answer (which many think will soon be apparent) depends the immediate economic future of the U. S. If it succeeds the downward spiral of deflation will be definitely checked. If it fails, historians may well look back upon 1932 with a shudder. In prospect, however, was not the wind of wild printing-press inflation which afflicted Germany and France but rather a rescue of credit from its enemy, deflation. Success required large plans, bold...
...aorta goes to the head and brain. The other branch goes to the trunk and limbs. Had the bullet been carried by the flowing blood and pulsing artery up toward the brain, it would quickly have plugged some small bore artery, caused quick death. Instead, the pellet turned downward, worked into the left iliac artery, then the left femoral. Surgeons last week left it there, hoping it would work further down the leg where its removal would be less risky to Harry Be-sharre's life...
...flow only from a more intense state of availability to a less intense state. Professor Richard Chase Tolman of the California Institute of Technology applied Professor Albert Einstein's relativity theory to thermodynamics, worked out a mathematical model of the universe in which energy does not flow continually downward, but expands and contracts in cycles, never reaching a state of equilibrium. Therefore he concluded that though the universe may be expanding in the neighborhood of the earthstars moving outward in space, radio-active elements breaking down into less energetic forms-this process may be reversed in remoter regions, stars...
...understand it!"; former First Lord of the Admiralty Albert Victor Alexander; former Minister of Health Arthur Greenwood; former Minister of Labor Miss Margaret ("St. Maggie") Bondfield; famed female Trade Unionist Miss "Wee Ellen" Wilkinson; and Oliver Baldwin, Socialist son & foe of Conservative Leader Stanley Baldwin.

...last week as the airship Los Angeles, convoyed by a half-dozen planes, poked her way across mid-Manhattan. Presently the biggest of the planes began to fly in a mile-circle around the dirigible, spewing a lengthening white plume of vapor behind her. The trail of smoke dripped downward until it hung like a great white curtain completely concealing the airship. Paramount Sound News men, who staged the stunt, ground their cameras busily. As the Los Angeles climbed above the smoke screen and headed for home, the white vapor continued to drift lower and lower until mild panic occurred...
