...that it as well as the Republican candidate's contains the letters oove and r. Takers of the long end of the bet have against them only Norman Thomas and Death.-ED. Weak Sister Sirs: I am positively indignant this morning, upon reading in your magazine of Aug. 15, the section National Affairs-The Presidency. The gossipy insinuating idea of publishing an article of the weak sister of a great man-Mr. Herbert Hoover- Is TIME out to belittle Mr. Hoover? If so, why? Such tactics are pursued only by the weak, and ill bred. If TIME disapproves...

Manager v. Swinger. California has had no Democratic Senator since James Duval Phelan's term expired in 1921. On the Aug. 30 primary ballot are six names: Parson M.

In the face of this Soviet officials have discovered that the rabbit, one of the mainstays of the French bourgeois cuisine, is sadly neglected in Russia. Only 1,500,000 domestic rabbits exist in the Soviet Union. Last week rabbit propaganda was put in motion. A rabbit breeding...
...Manchuria, Japanese troops celebrated the coming of their new commander by invading Jehol Province (TIME, Aug. 1). Led by bombing planes, flanked by armored trains and tanks, a Japanese force under General Suzuki swept over the Jehol border from Chinchow and captured Nanling. General Tung Fu-ting, defending general, telegraphed wildly from Nanling to Nanking for reinforcements. Chiang Kai-shek did not answer. Japanese troops resting in Nanling sent a three-day ultimatum to the city of Chaoyang, 30 miles away, their objective as a base for the conquest of the whole province. As in the original invasion of Manchuria...
