...morning last week citizens strolling on Vienna's central Ring-Strasse watched a small black sport biplane droning through some unusual acrobatics. They stopped when the plane spewed a trail of smoke. They gasped when the skywriter left a huge, white woolly Communist hammer & sickle floating over Austria's capital. The little black biplane then flew on to suburban Modling, traced the initials U.S.S.R. against the blue. Up went six slow Austrian army planes in pursuit. Audaciously the skywriter jazzed the municipal airport, disappeared, leaving the army flyers to their humiliation, the populace to speculate on the motive...
...Moscow, though Founder Sun tried unsuccessfully to borrow elsewhere first. Since Dr. Sun was an unpractical visionary, his death in 1925 greatly advantaged the Kuomintang, enabled such practical leaders as China's present Dictator to turn the memory of Sun into a high-powered political cult, resembling the Communist cult of Lenin. In 1927 practical Chiang broke sharply with Moscow. Last week what he seemed to be doing behind his façade of New Life Movement broadcasting was to sound out the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee thoroughly as to whether or not in 1937 Nanking should...
This remained to be seen as the Nanking Government continued in delicate negotiation with the Chinese Communist Armies near the kidnapping centre, Sian.

...Idiot's Delight" is crammed with characters as well as comment. Suffice it to say that every role is brilliantly filled: the raving Communist whom the Italians have to shoot, the fat German scientist who decides to turn from his cancer cures to the invention of a new and deadlier gas, the pitiable little pawn of a waiter who went out resignedly for the Austrians and is now seen ready to go out resignedly for the Italians. Alfred Lunt is overflowing with the shrewdness and practicality his part calls for, and if no Middle-Westerner ever heard speech so raucous...
With a soldier's contempt for the feelings of the Anarchist, Communist and assorted Marxist adherents of the Valencia Cabinet of Premier Largo Caballero in Spain last week, White Generalissimo Francisco Franco let his radiorating General Queipo de Llano appoint as Military Governor of Málaga, just captured from the Reds (TIME. Feb. 15), a soldierly Bourbon, the middle-aged Duke of Seville, onetime Colonel in the Spanish Infantry of King Alfonso XIII...
