...Government set out last week to nip anti-Left revolt which may be budding in North Africa. Many of this colony's landed proprietors, while French in citizenship, are of Spanish. Italian. South American or even German birth. Almost to a man they are more conservative than the Communist. Socialist and moderate Radical Socialist parties which in coalition support the Chautemps Cabinet. Notoriously German are many tough mercenaries of the famed French Foreign Legion. The natives are Mohammedan, excellent fighters, and their chiefs are even more anti-Left than the landed proprietors. Why then should not a French commander...
...high party officials still need loans from the State for the private houses and estates they are building or have built in imitation of Stalin's (TIME. Oct. 4). The Kremlin's decree last week, while abolishing loans to cooperatives, carefully guards the housing rights of Communist bigwigs and anyone else who can get permission from a local Soviet to build himself a private house. Armed with such permission, on which the project must be certified as a "small house" (what constitutes "small" being undefined), the fortunate Communist can still apply for and get a five-year building...
...should be turned out of office. Vainly searching for an issue, he has charged La Guardia with extravagance, with mismanaging the City's finances, with undertaking "expensive and disastrous" housing projects, with driving businesses from the city, with demoralizing the police, and finally with communion, spiritual and actual, with Communist Russia.

Renewed confidence at Nanking brought enthusiastic Chinese press stories, to be accepted with reserve, which boasted that erstwhile Chinese Communist troops had recaptured in Shansi the Yenman Pass and the Pingshing Pass and "trapped 50,000 Japanese." Apparently the Chinese troops were staging effective guerrilla raids in territory which nominally has been "conquered" by Japan, and such harassing tactics may prove the best against an invader who last week had advanced so far that the various lines of military supply Japan must keep...
Landing as a child on Manhattan docks with his immigrant parents. Gene Lyons grew up on the rowdy East Side where his family soon became sweatshop workers. He turned radical instead of rowdy, grew up among U.S. Communist stalwarts and was toughened in proletarian struggle by two-and-a-half years of feverish work as propagandist member of the SaccoVanzetti Defense Committee. For a year he edited in Manhattan the Soviet Russia Pictorial. From this he graduated to assistant director of the New York office of TASS, then as now the official news agency of the Soviet State. Its director...
