A commentary contrasts the Frazier Lemke law with the Supreme Court ruling that deemed it unconstitutional. The piece argues the bill addressed real foreclosure crises and questions whether the court, while legally correct, acted wisely given wartime and New Deal realities. It warns of potential debt crises and the limits of state action versus federal powers.
A highly praised performance by Jesse Owens, Ohio State’s star, marked the 38th annual Western Conference track and field championship. He opened with a 100 yard dash in 9.4 seconds, shattering expectations and signaling a remarkable display of speed and versatility.
Jesse Owens shatters three world marks on a single afternoon. He soars 26 feet 4 inches in the broad jump surpassing Chahel Nambu of Japan. He runs 220 yards in 20.3 seconds eclipsing Roland Locke of Nebraska, and clears 220 yard hurdles in 22.6 seconds breaking Charles Brookins's 11 year old record. The feats crown Owens as one of sport's all time greats. In political news, leaders scrutinize the Utility Holding Company bill, noting the same opposition groups push securities and banking regulation measures. The flood of letters to Congress shows limited effect this time.
A New York World Telegram editorial argues the NRA’s aims were sound in a national emergency despite the Supreme Court striking it down. It contends the old competitive system harms mass purchasing power and that government or private sector must seek new solutions, praising Roosevelt and workers for their efforts to curb profit-driven excess and save the nation’s industrial base.
A review of George H. Doran’s autobiography reveals intimate portraits of writers like Arnold Bennett and Mary Roberts Rinehart, including anecdotes on plagiarism, literary realism, and Doran’s ties to publishers. The piece also notes upcoming works and a polemic on police dogs and radio announcers.
A dated spoof on telegram billing urges recipients to wire or remit sums to settle debts. It lampoons overlong, taped messages by listing numbers and the absurd demand patterns, noting failed attempts at prompt payments and escalating warnings.
Washington notes reflect on the Supreme Court ruling ending the NRA and the political fallout. Democrats privately question Roosevelt's leadership while blaming the administration’s advisers. The piece suggests attempts to rally public opinion against business opposition and labor protests, with warnings of continued constitutional debate and future New Deal clashes.
Editors across the state react to the Supreme Court decision outlawing NRA codes. Democratic papers seek government steps to regulate hours and wages by other means, while Republican papers mock or caution. Widespread opinions touch on business freedom, child labor gains, and the potential rebound or loss of NRA principles.
The Daily Washington Merry-Go-Round profiles several assistant administrators under Ickes Tugwell and Walker. Horatio J. Hackett, Jacob Baker, Henry Bennett, and Eugene Leggett are highlighted for their roles in PWA FERA and soil conservation, with notes on their backgrounds and influence. The piece also touches on the AAA reform debates and a closed impeachment inquiry involving Judge Alschuler as Dirksen questions proceed.
