...Vandenberg musicale was by no means the only event that served to turn the political spotlight on Republicans last week. In New York, just back from his first visit to Europe in 19 years, Herbert Hoover, still his party's dean, sounded off. Main points: 100 dignitaries with whom he had conversed had given him the impression that immediate general war is unlikely but the U. S. should nonetheless keep out of entangling alliances, and totalitarianism will get you if you don't watch out.* In Bangor, Me., New Hampshire's Senator Bridges called on the country...
After a stay in Czechoslovakia, where he talked with "Europe's Smartest Little Statesman," President Eduard Benes, Premier Milan Hodza and Foreign Minister Kamil Krofta, Mr. Hoover had moved on to Berlin. At his hotel, sharp-eyed Gestapo (secret police) agents pounced upon a suspicious-looking package addressed to Mr. Hoover.

Stepping nimbly just ahead of trouble for the second time on his European trip, Mr. Hoover three weeks ago chatted amiably with Poland's white-haired President Ignacy Moscicki, Army Dictator Smigly-Rydz and Premier Felician Slawoj Skladkowski. A week after his visit. Hosts Moscicki, Smigly-Rydz and Skladkowski made their little neighbor, Lithuania, knuckle under to their will with an ultimatum (TIME, March 28). By this time Mr. Hoover had journeyed through Finland, Estonia, had missed a luncheon date with Sweden's Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf because fog delayed his Baltic steamer, and popped in on Copenhagen...
