...recent ly enacted by Congress. Among other activities he organized the National Air Transport Co. two years ago. Now he resigns all private enterprises to go to his pioneering desk in Washington un der Mr. Hoover. Mr. Hoover, as every one knows, is ubiquitous. If it is not radio, it is farm relief, or aviation. Last week it was mostly aviation with a dash of farm relief thrown in (see THE PRESIDENCY, p. 5). Herbert Hoover has a brain that works in vast, sweeping programs.

It is said that such prosecution would...
...bridges, barns, houses and fields of grain in fat Czecho-Slovakia and lower Hungary continued to be inundated and swept away during a fourth week of natural catastrophe (TIME, July 19, INTERNATIONAL). Farmers pled piteously with their governments to "do something." Peasants cursed and blamed the ill-omened new radio stations. Governments lamented, spoke dolefully of sunspots as the cause of disastrous weather. Afflicted mankind was miserable...
