...from the azure waters of Capri last week bald, cerebral British Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon rose on the wings of an Italian seaplane piloted by Ace Major Attilio Biseo, veteran of the Balbo flight to Chicago. Beside Sir John sat the Duke of San Vito, a secretary in Il Duce's Foreign Office. To discuss Dictator Mussolini's bold plan to "reform" the League of Nations (TIME, Dec. 18) Sir John had come from London, pausing to enjoy the holidays at Capri before getting to business...
...case against rough-&-tumble professional hockey which nearly resulted in the death of Toronto's Irvin ("Ace") Bailey (TIME, Dec. 25) was peacefully resolved last week in Boston when Bailey was pronounced definitely out of danger.

While Bailey's teammates carried him to the dressing room, twitching and writhing with a fractured skull, Horner whizzed up to Shore, whammed him on the chin, knocked him unconscious...
...Ace" Bailey underwent two delicate trepanning operations. "Eddie" Shore, one of the least malicious of hockey players, sat miserably in his room at home, waiting to hear whether Bailey would live or die. Both he and Horner were suspended by the National Hockey League pending investigation of the case. League officials dug into the whole question of whether or not hockey violence had gotten out of bounds. A seasoned spectator in a strange U.
