...enough for them to send such "old crates" as the French have been sending and as Madrid has been buying in the U. S. (see p. 13). Der Führer therefore was faced with having to decide his next big move in Spain-either intervention whole hog, or scuttle-and in Berlin foreign envoys were secretly tipped by Foreign Minister Baron Constantin von Neurath who emphasized, "I am speaking for the Chancellor." His exact words were not published but their gist was a declaration that Germany will not permit the establishment in Spain of anything resembling Soviet rule...
...crop, farmers will be told how much corn to plant, get an extra 5% added to their soil-diversion bounty if they obey. If they exceed their planting limit, there will be a deduction for each extra acre. Thus the Department, fearing a surplus which would send corn and hog prices crashing, hopes to bring corn acreage from 1932-33's 59,000,000 and last year's 54-500,000 acres down to some 54,000,000 acres. Reluctant to discuss the matter. AAA legalites nonetheless conceded that this production control was quite as direct as that...
Hailed before NLRB as a sample Rand-Bergoff employe was hog-necked, 260 lb., Sam Harris, better known as "Chowder-head" Cohen. A ubiquitous character whose appearance and language have made him the delight of the Press, he waddled into the news last winter as boss "fink" in New York City's elevator strike, again last autumn as witness before the Senate's civil liberties committee, again last month when he was set upon by striking seamen (TIME, Nov. 16).

...many boys raised in Iowa go to sea, fewer still become admirals. Perhaps William Daniel Leahy would today be a corn-hog farmer if his Iowan parents had not moved when he was still young to Ashland, Wis., on the shore of Lake Superior. As it was, when he graduated from high school he wangled an appointment to the U. S. Naval Academy, and last week President Roosevelt announced that, effective Jan. 1 Admiral William Daniel Leahy, Commander of the Battle Force, will be Chief of Naval Operations, No. 1 U. S. sailor. He will succeed Admiral William Harrison Standley...
...Nazi gift: a copy of Mein Kampf "from the hands of Der Führer himself and with his so-gemütlich autograph." Last week Count Ciano was doing Austria and Hungary. By themselves Austria and Hungary have been timid about breaking the post-War treaties intended to hog-tie them but last week, feeling they were under Dictator Mussolini's broad wing, they joyously slipped these bonds. In a joint Italian-Austrian-Hungarian communiqué the three Governments announced that "equality is the fundamental principle of justice," and construed this noble sentiment to mean that the clauses...
