...Peek, like NRA's General Johnson with whom he was once a partner in the Moline Plow Co., is rated a "Baruch man." Ever since President Roosevelt gave him the AAA he has been fighting clear of the Braintrusters who stood close to Mr. Wallace in the Department of Agriculture-Assistant Secretary Tugwell, Columbia professor, and AAA Counsel Jerome Frank, disciple of Felix Frankfurter. They favored restricting production, holding down the profits of processors and distributors. Their aim was not just recovery for the farmers but a radical step: permanent "socialization" of the processing and distributing business. When they...
...tallest, heaviest (216 lb.) rider in the race. Since starting in 1928 he had entered 37 six-day races, won 17. Alfred Letourner, teamed with Peden this autumn for the first time, is an excitable little Frenchman who wolfs six thick mutton chops at a swoop. His oldtime partner was now his opponent: Belgian Gerard Debaets, a clown who enlivens dull hours of the grind by sailing around the track with a parasol, a bustle or false whiskers...

Debaets pulled the Frenchman off his wheel and both men went sprawling. Letourner was fined $25. Debaets' partner, Norman Hill, a handsome youngster from San Jose, Calif., is all-around bicycle champion...
...record. The victory of Peden & Letourner was less surprising than the complete collapse of the aging "iron man," Reginald James McNamara. Nobody expected McNamara, at 46, to win, but likewise no one expected him to do so miserably. Rusty, battered, wearing 47 scars, McNamara and his blond partner, Charles Winter, had tied for the lead briefly in the early stages. At the end they barely kept their wheels turning, finished last, 18 laps behind the winners...
...which one Edwin F. Atkins Jr., a U. S. planter in Cuba, had been lost. Friends of the planter identified the shark's meal. For years thereafter whenever a person asked him the old question, "Will sharks eat human beings?" Sharkman Young produced a photograph of his partner standing in front of the disemboweled shark, holding the Atkins human arm. Last fortnight that sickening picture, with many another, was reproduced in Sharkman Young's garrulous, rambling fisherman's book Shark! Shark!, set down for him by Horace S. Mazet...
