...division directors. John F. Killeen (Broadcast) was Postmaster General Farley's protege; Robert T. Bartley (Telegraph) is the nephew of House Democratic Leader Sam Rayburn; A. G. Patterson (Telephone) was an assistant to Hugo LaFayette Black when he investigated air and ocean mail contracts (TIME, Oct 9, 1933 et seq.).

Following their successful Nyon piracy conference of seven weeks ago (TIME, Sept. 20 et seq.), France and Britain moved last week to do something serious about the more important question of Italian volunteers in Spain. These, estimated by French military observers to number between 65.000 and 80,000 men, were last week admitted for the first time in the Italian press to number 40,000.

Weber of the American Federation of Musicians had threatened a music strike if broadcasters did not hire enough new musicians to bring total expenditures for radio music from $1,500,000 to $5,000,000 a year (TIME, Aug. 9 et ante).
