Under Secretary of Agriculture Rexford Guy Tugwell and Assistant to the Secretary Paul Henson Appleby sailed from Manhattan to attend the meetings of the International Agricultural Institute in Rome.

For Brain Truster Tugwell's furtive departure President Roosevelt at Hyde Park had a different explanation: process servers were looking for him in a suit filed against the Department of Agriculture.

Said the Detroit Tigers' strapping Pitcher Lynwood ("Schoolboy") Rowe: "Hello, Maw!" Said Mrs. Ruby Rowe McGlothin: "If you ever call me 'Maw' again, I'll whip you sure."
