Each spring almost every team in both baseball leagues announces confidently that it will win the pennant; before the championship fight both challenger and defender are sure they will knock out the other. Likewise, in beginning this year's dogfight, the government and big business, with labor sandwiched somewhere in between, have sounded the note of war. The Administration, which should, because of its position, be acquainted with the virtues of tact and temperance, has obviously blown its trumpet too hard and very flat. On the other side, both business and labor have shown by their utterances that they...
...force relief troops through. Into the snowy streets of Teruel marched ten hostages released by the attackers to carry a promise of amnesty to all civilians and Rightists who would surrender by 9 a. m. on the following morning. Nobody surrendered. Through the day Leftist troops continued to fight from house to house, ever farther into the city, kept the attack going through the night with searchlights. For the first time the new trained army of Leftist Spain had been able to carry a properly planned campaign through four successive days of attack...

...Congo. Purposes: to make a motion picture survey of certain parts of the country for Belgian Congo's National Park Institute; to take sound film material suitable for use in an African movie. Explorer Denis, his wife, cameramen, and Pooka, a cat (which survived sand storms and a fight with a leopard, only to be run over later on a quiet New England country road) pushed their way through jungles and over mountains never before seen by the cinecamera's eye. The film has not yet been released, but some of the most exciting portions of the sound...
