...robed Roman Catholic Bishop Lamb finished his prayer, James Aloysius Farley stepped forward to the rostrum and said: "I will ask that the Convention stand for one minute in solemn tribute to a great American-Will Rogers." Had National Democratic Chairman Farley paused a moment longer before naming his late "Great American," 3,000 delegates and alternates would doubtless have burst into improper cheers, so brimming were they with enthusiasm. For nearly an hour longer they restrained themselves, until Boss Farley came down upon the words: "that calm, capable and courageous Democrat, Franklin D. Roosevelt!" Then, at the first mention...
...sleek car carried new French Premier Leon Blum last week to Geneva. There, while Sanctions are disposed of (see above), M. Blum proposed to lobby industriously in League corridors for creation of a United States of Europe.

Capitol employes wanted to install a radio to listen to the Cleveland doings but Alf Landon told them...
...some 70,000,000 people in the U. S. are dependent on a scattered army of obscure technicians: the superintendents of urban waterworks. Last week 1,200 members of the American Water Works Association gathered in convention at Los Angeles, talked shop, complained about their pay, behaved themselves. A solemn and sober group, the waterworks superintendents are famed among hotelmen and convention solicitors for the fact that they almost never do any damage. In their convention lobby they gazed earnestly at water tinkling through complete model systems; at a scale model of Los Angeles' new automatic chlorinator, which...
