Last week, however, a commission of Congressmen headed by Connecticut's Senator Hiram Bingham, chairman of the Territories & Insular Affairs Committee, were aboard the 7,05O-ton cruiser Omaha en route from Honolulu to Pago Pago to consider at first hand the conflicting petitions and reports which Congress has received. While at Honolulu they had held sessions, heard much testimony from Samoans and others...
Charles Street is called Gabby because he talks a lot. This year he has talked less than usual. He caught for the immortal Walter Johnson with the Washing ton Senators in 1909. During the War he was a tough and talkative top-sergeant. His field strategies are usually extemporaneous but almost always shrewd. He affects no aloofness toward his players but is a strict disciplinarian. He is the first Cardinal manager since 1925 to last more than a year at the job. This is the first time he has managed a team in a world series...
...general textiles and clothing, agricultural implements and products, household machines head the list of imports saddled with higher duties. The steel and iron schedules bristle with slight changes, but of U. S. products only iron pipe is jacked up decisively from $10 to $14 per ton. Because Canada's autompbile industry is as yet too infantile to supply Dominion demands if further protected there is no change in this bracket. Motor cars from the U.

Every year the Hearstpapers, largest consumers of newsprint in the world, use approximately 465,000 tons of white, green, pink and peach colored paper. Last year hard-hitting President Archibald Robertson Graustein of International Paper Co. (subsidiary of International Paper & Power Co.) got the contract to supply Hearst with newsprint for five years at $55.20 per ton. Later he fought-and bested-the premiers of Quebec and Ontario when they tried to up the price to $60 (TIME, Dec. 9 et seq.). But the position of a U. S. paper company in Canada is not an easy one. More- over...
...Committee boat's little flags announced the course: triangular, 10 mi. to windward, then 10 mi. southeast-by-east, then back to the starting point. Skipper Vanderbilt crossed the line neatly as the starting gun boomed, stepped out in front and to windward of Shamrock V, from which a ton of lead ballast had been removed. Strategically, Enterprise kept her advantage, tacking with Shamrock V, keeping her rival out of the wind and at a disadvantage as a hawk follows a pigeon. Unable to shake off the defender, outraced, outmaneuvred, Shamrock V trailed nearly 6 min. behind at the first...
