...civilians. The Army proposed to use civilian eyes & ears. An Army reservation surrounded by civilians, and big enough for a variety of targets and ground defenses, was the Field Artillery's Fort Bragg, 100 miles inland from the North Carolina coast. Two months ago, Brig. General Fulton Quintus Caius Gardner went to work to sharpen civilian eyes, prick civilian ears in 39 counties and 20,758 square miles around Fort Bragg.

Born in Truro, Joseph Hunkin studied mathematics and tutored at Cambridge's Gonville & Caius College (pronounced and called "Keys"; the Gonville is usually silent) before he went into the Church. During the War he was chaplain of the 29th Division, British Expeditionary Force, won his Military Cross for working among wounded soldiers at the front after being twice gassed. Shy, bespectacled little Dr. Hunkin later became dean of "Keys," was appointed Bishop of Truro in 1935. His diocese embraces the county of Cornwall, four parishes in Devonshire and the windswept Scilly Isles off Land's End. Year...

Bowcott, 145-Ib. scrum-half, smallest man on the team, whose spectacular lateral passing led to three Cambridge tries; Cliff Jones, a spry little 154-lb. Welsh freshman of Clare College, already considered one of the best stand-off halves in England. He recovered from a tonsillectomy just...
...Vienna the socialite International Country Club was raided by rollicking young Fascists who toppled over tables, smashed crockery & chairs, attacked the guests with clubs fashioned of broken furniture. Raining blows upon one Walter A. Baldwin of Boston they bruised him severely. Aristocratic Dr. Caius Brediceanu, Minister to Austria of the Kingdom of Rumania, was kicked from behind, rolled over & over down the terrace steps. Even women were smacked in the face and elsewhere by the young Fascists until suddenly the Club secretary appeared, pistol in hand, cool...
