TIME, in its synopsis of medicine (July 22), did not take time to explain fully the A. M. A. Journal's article on mercurochrome. Readers are likely to be left with the impression that the red dye has been shown to be more efficacious than tincture of iodine as an antiseptic. You fail to state that when drug-buyers ask for mercurochrome, they are not getting the tincture, which Miss Hill described as being more bacteriostatic than a 7% tincture of iodine. They are handed instead a 2% aqueous solution, since few places outside of institutions carry the tincture...
...Ickes had issued an order that on Public Works projects any purchase of $10,000 or more should , be made from foreigners if the foreign bid was 15% below any domestic bid. Knowing he had a good case, the President took five minutes out in a press conference to explain why the tariff-pampered steel industry had small ground for complaint.

"I told them if the bill was passed it would put the utilities in the hands of big men. I didn't want that. But Mr. Epstein told me-" "Who's Mr. Epstein?" "He has a store. He told me it would do just the other...
...began to chat amiably. Guardian angel of the peace parley was Clark Howell, who arranged it all when the President week-ended at Jefferson Islands in company with party bigwigs (TIME, July 22). In the comfortable air of the President's office Governor Talmadge sat down to explain just how terrible it was that the Government was holding up $19,000,000 of Federal highway funds rather than trust their spending to the Georgia Highway Board. As between two practical politicians, couldn't they play ball together? Considering the President's cordiality, it looked as if they...
