Bruce Catton on the US debt and deficit decade
Bruce Catton frames the federal debt as a grand canyon of finance. He recaps a decade of deficits from 1931 to 1940, noting revenue of about 41.0 billion and expenditures near 68.5 billion, with debt approaching 44.5 billion and interest and defense costs rising. He itemizes key outlays including public works, relief programs, veterans benefits, and loans to banks and cities, and identifies holders of the debt among the public, Federal Reserve, and trust funds.

Fortified Maharajah Home Under Construction for Indore Ruler
In Santa Ana California a fortress like residence is rising for Sir Yeshwant Rao Holkar Maharajah of Indore at a cost of 59000 dollars. Local talk says the fortress would serve as a safe haven for his high‑born daughter Princess Usha and perhaps for him and his wife Marguerite Lawler Branyen if war erupts. Heavily barred windows reflect a streamline style. In 1988 there were 157 cities with populations between 5000 and 10000 reporting no traffic fatalities.
