...months, radicals led by sour-faced General Francisco Mujica, Minister of Communications & Public Works, and Toledano have been hurling charges of "Fascist" against 240-lb. Cedillo. Backed in his home state of San Luis Potosi by 7,000 men, the last private army in Mexico and apparently in high favor with President Cárdenas, Cedillo felt secure. His agrarian army was largely responsible for booting out party-boss and former President Plutarco Elias Calles in 1934, replacing him with liberal-minded Cardenas. Time & again, the blustering General Cedillo, riled at Leftist indictments, handed in his resignation, but Cardenas refused...
...eager band of Alaskan flyers whose rescue work in the past has brought them world-wide renown. From Los Angeles, Flyer James Mattern, who contemplates a transpolar flight to Moscow and who was once rescued in Siberia by Flyer Levanevsky, dashed non-stop to Fairbanks to return the favor in his new Lockheed Electra.

S. bureau of agricultural economics, who pointed out that good apples from South America, South Africa and New Zealand are finding favor in Europe, thus giving U. S. apples real competition. The mass of delegates consoled themselves by playing golf, dancing and wishing there were more delegates among them like light-haired, blue-eyed Abraham Kouris, 37, of Tel Aviv, Palestine. A Russian who speaks six languages, Appleman Kouris is the leading...
...General Vicente Lombardo Toledano, hot-eyed little organizer, who looks a little like George Raft, likes to be compared to John L. Lewis. Last week, 18,000 unionists, members of the Syndicate of Petroleum Workers, had good reason to cheer. A 3,250-page, nine-volume decision in their favor was handed down by a special commission named by the Board of Arbitration to investigate Mexico's oil industry. It aimed to settle the long-simmering dispute between the Sindicator de la Industria Petrolera, employers' syndicate, and the 18,000 oil workers...
