Vincent Astor reports on German high speed trans Atlantic travel and ship shore ideas to shorten ocean voyages. A brutal triple hanging in Joliet’s prison marks a grim crime response, while Dempsey trains to avoid stale form before his bout with Sharkey. The piece ends by questioning naval arms parities and advocating decisive U S production and defense.
