Russia's current tidal wave of treason charges, summary arrests and sudden death to even big Bolsheviks (TIME, Aug. 24 et seq.), surged up last week for the first time high enough to overwhelm even a president of a constituent republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics...
...dining in the Willard Hotel. His hearers, being Southerners, supposed at once that he was referring to the color line. Only two years ago his Legislature passed and he proudly signed a law giving Negroes equal rights with whites in all Pennsylvania's hotels, shops, restaurants, theatres (TIME, Aug. 12, 1935).

Upon Lindbergh's protest, Minister Cot limited the race to multi-motored planes with radios and extended the start to any time in August. But protests continued to fulminate in the U.
