Dynamite cap explosion harms family on farm
A dynamite cap exploded among children on Frederick Rete’s farm in Allegany County injuring Frederick and his brother John while they played in a car towed from the garage. Frederick lost fingers and thumb, John suffered a cut forehead, and two other brothers Thomas and Donald sustained minor injuries. The accident prompted state trooper H Chamberlain to investigate as the family relocated to the farm in April after an earlier home was burned.

Defeated presidential candidates seldom get another chance
Politic history shows losers of major races rarely return to front rank. Republicans rarely renominate defeated nominees. Democrats historically shifted nominees and leaders. After defeat, figures like Hoover, Smith, Landon and Willkie remained public voices and advisers, shaping policy and public discourse in later years.
