...when he won first prize in Pittsburgh's Carnegie International Exhibition with a slickly painted abstraction of twisted topography and soaring sailors called South of Scranton (TIME, Oct. 29, 1934). One of the eight art Fellowships went last week to Surrealist Blume to continue daubing at a small anti-Fascist canvas he began on Guggenheim funds...
...Radical Socialist who was forced out as Premier by the Stavisky scandal, M. Camille Chautemps. Although a parliamentary commission has cleared him, Chautemps' return to Cabinet rank so soon "stank of Staviskery."

With Mussolini stood Grand Councilmen whose names the world knows: Marconi, Volpi, Balbo, Grandi and others, scarcely one of whom has not been the butt of anti-Fascist insinuations that he had "quarreled with Mussolini" at one time or another. Air Marshal Italo Balbo, once rumored "banished'' to the post of Governor of Libya by the "jealous" Dictator, has been in Rome repeatedly since the outset of the war and on warplane shopping trips...
