That smart crack you made in your issue of Jan. 31 about nosy notaries being unable to see figures on the 1937 income tax blanks because of one of Magill's reforms in putting the affidavit on the back instead of the front ! . . . I am most surprised that it did not dawn upon TIME . . . that before a notary can certify to any instrument, it must be looked over carefully to see that it is properly filled...

Dr. Schuschnigg is one of Europe's hardest, smartest, most devoutly pious and most able statesmen.

It is calculated to serve the biggest commercial planes of the century ahead, and to function...
...Caribbean, around South America and across the Pacific, Pan American Airways proved to itself that "the bigger the airplane is the more efficient it can be made." The P. A. A. began to eye the Atlantic and ran into the toughest competition in its history. Europe's crack lines, Deutsche Lufthansa, Air France and Imperial Airways-all richer than P. A. A. because their Governments directly subsidize them-had plans for the same ocean. But none had over-ocean passenger planes. Three years ago P. A. A. called for ships that would fly the route, pay their way. Last...
