Bradman still serious
D.G. Bradman, the Australian cricketer who underwent an operation for appendicitis on Monday, was still in a serious condition this afternoon. Close friends do not disguise their anxiety. The manager of the Australian team (Mr H. Bushby) was the only person allowed to see the patient. King George and Queen Mary telephoned from Balmoral Castle hoping that Bradman would have a speedy recovery.

Sudden storm
A violent wind squall occurring during a thunderstorm yesterday afternoon damaged trees and gardens and carried away roofing in several suburbs. The storm developed suddenly, just before 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the Herald reported. A shed at the Liverpool fire station was blown over a fence and deposited in the next yard. The gale, blowing across the Harbour Bridge, almost overturned several light cars.

Resentment at increase
“That there should be a certain amount of resistance to this measure of assistance to a vital industry leaves me in amazement,” said Sir Herbert Gepp. “If the bread industry, into which we are now inquiring, is asking for regulation and control, surely it is reasonable to meet the absolute necessities of the growers of wheat.” The chairman of the Wheat Commission failed to grasp consumer response to a rise in bread prices.
