...return to revolutionary principles was at hand, there was no indication of it in the U. S. Communist Party. The Daily Worker appealed to patriotic sentiment by printing a picture of a capitalistic U. S. flag riddled by General Franco's bombers as it flew over Barcelona's Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. building. Meantime the two tiptop U. S. Communists, William Z. Foster and Earl Browder, had returned to Manhattan from Moscow, still talking collective security, which means support of Capitalist Franklin Roosevelt.

Two hours from the coast of Brazil one of his motors failed, he turned back, dumped gasoline, promptly caught fire. He and four companions jumped, landed in a sea covered with flaming gasoline. When...
Fortnight ago at the Braddock-Farr fight fists flew when Sun Sportswriter Ed Van Every repeated Dan Parker's charge to Jimmy Powers' face (TIME, Jan. 31). Last week this phase of the unseemly friction between Editor Powers and most of the rest of his colleagues closed with a letter printed in Dan Parker's column "in justice to Jimmy Powers. . . ."
