Aviation and political shifts shadow stormy news day
A chaotic news day reports eight deaths in a stormy plane crash, nine Dartmouth students in a gas-filled fraternity house, and twenty-four killed by tornadoes. The piece links aviation turmoil to politics, noting Roosevelt aims for central federal authority and calls for a communications commission.

Byrd’s Antarctic run and Britain’s monarchist expectations loom as Washington’s air mail dispute and cabinet shifts surge. A Chicago gangster’s sentencing ends in 2033, Adolf Hitler’s rise prompts monarchy talk, and the week opens with a long Des Moines legislative session and a robbers’ toy gun incident.
