...days before President Roosevelt took office in 1933, he lost his Attorney General-designate when old Thomas J. Walsh, on his second honeymoon, dropped-dead of a heart attack in his Pullman drawing room. Following year a throat disease forced Secretary of the Treasury William Hartman Woodin out of the Cabinet, later killed him. Last week Death struck its first square blow at the Roosevelt Cabinet when Secretary of War George Henry Dern died after a long illness in Washington's Walter Reed Hospital. He had suffered a severe attack of influenza in Charleston, S. C. last spring...
...Henry Ford went off for a yacht cruise, remarking: "I don't intend to compete with Brucker. If the people are dissatisfied with my work, I shall be content to stand aside."

White Co. in Cleveland, Father von Schilling obtained a King Giant Sousaphone with a 28-in. gold bell and the standard-sized mouthpiece. The Sousaphone was mounted on a rack so that Stanwurt could crawl into it, huff & puff, while...
...Talmadge and headed United Artists for years. Nick Schenck stuck by Loew's, taking over when the founder died in 1927. For box-office results Nick Schenck likes his pictures sentimental. Once when a feature was submitted for his approval, he shook his head dolefully, pointed to his throat, remarked: "No lump." There was plenty of sentiment in last week's deal which would appeal to stock holders, whose approval must be obtained before any of the plans bear fruit. Part & parcel of the financial proposals are straight business agreements wrhich will benefit all three companies. The when...
