...France Bill Bullitt, home for a week ostensibly to have a lame shoulder treated, more likely to prime the President against an anticipated September Crisis abroad. Secretary of State Hull last week held conferences on the Tientsin situation but took no action, issued no statements (see p. 21). > Ambassador Francisco Castillo Nájera called to thank the President for U. S. courtesies upon the death of Mexico's air ace, Francisco Sarabia (TIME, June 19). The President seized the opportunity to ask Mexico to speed up its settlement of U. S. oil expropriation claims...

"Poosh 'em up, Tony!" thereafter was the battle cry of the bleachers...
When small, smiling Francisco ("Pancho") Sarabia set his racing plane down fast but safely at Floyd Bennett Field three weeks ago, his friends, relatives and admirers waiting there cheered him wildly. They were glad because their Pancho had set a new non-stop record for the Mexico City-New York City flight. And they were glad for another reason. Pancho's five-year-old plane had a bad history of forced landings and unfinished races, was supposed to be jinxed. Pancho had flouted the jinx...
