Freight Slip scheme threatens U S export controls

Peter Edson warns that a new slip page tactic lets exporters misuse licenses. Steel, machines, farm equipment, and flour shipped to Europe or Cuba can end up behind the Iron Curtain. Weak enforcement and lack of penalties prior to revised postwar rules allowed crooks to inflate licenses and evade proper dock releases and records.

Dewey Victory Picture In Philadelphia Draws Mixed Reactions

The author recalls a stormy Philadelphia scene at the Republican convention with a punctured rubber elephant and a Dewey victory banner. He argues the Dewey appeal is negative, stressing efficiency and integrity while warning that true governance requires broader qualities beyond mere administrative virtue. He contrasts this with New Deal criticisms and warns of hollow assurances from GOP leaders.

Insect Problem by Edwin P. Jordan

Insects carry disease germs and threaten mankind. Mosquitoes, tsetse flies, fleas, ticks, and others spread malaria, sleeping sickness, plague, and typhus.

Plan It Carefully Says Sam Simmons on Dewey Speech
