Wirt links red plot to overthrow government during Roosevelt era
The Indiana educator R William A Wirt claimed a "red plot" to overthrow the US government, naming officials and residents at a Washington dinner. He cited six men including Rexford Tugwell and Henry Rainey as conspirators, but much of his tale rested on hearsay and lacks solid evidence. The investigating committee adjourned to hear witnesses who attended the dinner. The article also notes tax increases via estate tax amendments and President Roosevelt's fishing trip near Miami where a nearby train narrowly avoided a collision with a motorcade passengers.

Wallace Bars Cutten From Trading In Grain Markets
Arthur W. Cutten, a Chicago wheat pit millionaire, faces prohibition from future grain exchange trading after being summoned to appear in Chicago on May 14 to answer charges under the grain futures act. He allegedly failed to report trades and used false reports and dummy accounts to conceal dealings in 1930 and 1931. Officials welcomed a Dodge Corp report showing a spring rise in public works driven building activity and March contract totals for 87 eastern states. Publicly financed contracts reached 126.21 million, privately financed 52.95 million, with total March activity up sharply from prior years.
