...silk-stockinged 15th District. Outside politics, Judge Mahoney is currently best known as president of the Amateur Athletic Union, to which he was re-elected last year after he had urged that the U. S. send no athletes to the Olympic Games in Berlin (TIME, Nov. 4, 1935 et seq.). For that stand Mr. Mahoney, if nominated, could count on receiving a large Jewish vote, possibly offsetting a similar vote that fiery little Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia expects to receive for his anti-Hitlerism. And Mr. Mahoney could look for support from no less a personage than Franklin Roosevelt. Although President...
...half-successful Leftist offensive of last month (TIME, July 19, et seq.) shelved the Italian scheme for weeks. By any scheme of tactics a counteroffensive was immediately necessary and it was undertaken with continuing but vague reports of Rightist successes. Then last week came that serpent of troops and trucks from Burgos and Vitoria. It meant that the Rightist offensive at Madrid had been checked too, and the Italian plan was getting another inning...
...their efforts to find Chinese who will act as trustworthy puppets, and in the past two years they have equipped with Japanese rifles, Japanese cartridges and even Japanese machine guns several thousand Chinese known as the Peace Preservation Corps of "General"' Yin Ju-keng (TIME, Dec. 2, 1935 et seq.).

He was ruling uneventfully last week in his strategic bailiwick which...
Like California, many U. S. States permit a paying passenger to recover for auto injuries caused by a driver's negligence, but limit non-paying passenger or guest recoveries to cases where the driver was grossly negligent or drunk. In both Walker v. Adamson and McCann v. Hoffman et al, the injured passengers had shared or were expected to share in the expenses of the trip. But, said California's Supreme Court, where the parties are ''engaged on a business venture for their mutual advantage," then sharing expenses makes a guest a paying passenger; whereas, when...
...Securities & Exchange Commission's two-year-old investigation of manipulation in Bellanca Aircraft shares by famed Broker Michael J. Meehan (TIME, Nov. 4, 1935 et seq.): A Decision, the first involving manipulation since SEC was set up, ordering Broker Meehan barred from all U. S. stock exchanges. To the nervous little broker whose name in stockmarket history was written in Radio stock during the Coolidge bull market, the order will mean little in money, much in honor. His health broken by SEC's interminable proceedings, Mike Meehan has not been active for more than a year...
