...TIME was hailed enthusiastically by cinema critics, dubiously by the industry. Currently, its audience appeal wholly vindicated by its influence on other newsreels as well as by its popularity, the monthly two-reeler, distributed by RKO, is being shown in 7,560 U. S., 1,247 British Isle, 485 Australian and New Zealand and 750 Spanish-speaking theatres. Next month THE MARCH OF TIME will move into its own three-story Manhattan building.

These were the first words addressed to an Australian farmer last week by two travelers whom he encountered in the fastnesses of the MacPherson Range, 60 mi. south of Brisbane. The travelers, named Binstead and Proud, were the only survivors of one of the most shocking crashes in Australia's air history.

For breeding purposes the Soviet Commissar of Agriculture has bought a total of 27,000. Hay Creek Rambouillet sheep are so big that the herders entertain visitors by riding them. Other Hay Creek livestock include 100 blooded horses, 5,000 purebred Herefords...
...taken for the bombing and almost total destruction of a city called Weinan, 45 miles from Sian, scene of the kidnapping. It was contended that the frightful destruction of Chinese lives and property in Weinan had intimidated the kidnappers in Sian. Exactly the opposite was the claim of Australian "Adviser" William H. Donald, who had advised both the Kidnapper and the Kidnappee in Sian and holds a most ambiguous position. He claimed that the Government bombers, but for heavy fog and snow over Sian during an entire week, would have dropped bombs with indiscriminate abandon all over the place...
