THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 1, 1939

* Actor George Burns
* Gem - jewelry smuggling
* Receives punishment

The front page has a one column heading: "BURNS FINED $8,000 IN SMUGGLING CASE" with subhead. (see) First report coverage on actor George Burns receiving punishment for gem smuggling. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 pages, rag edition, slight crease on the front page, otherwise very nice.
