Despite this friendly admonition from K. P. Chen, Shanghai banker and nonpartisan State Councillor, and similar advice from other well-informed Chinese, Time Inc.'s Nanking correspondent, Frederick Gruin, went (by air, truck and afoot) to China's huge, little-known, mineral-and-oil-rich Sin kiang province on the borders of Outer Mongolia and, with luck, came back with his story. Those of you who read TIME'S account of it in the October 6 issue know that the story turned out to be another important piece in the pattern of Soviet encirclement of China...
Most of you have already read TIME'S accounts of the recent tours of New York's Governor Thomas E. Dewey and Ohio's Robert A. Taft. Our correspondents who accompanied them were Robert Elson, chief of Time Inc.'s Washington bureau, and Win Booth, who ordinarily covers the White House.

Smith pointed out that Slick himself had started the rate war-and thus had driven many another independent to the wall (Slick's biggest competitor, California Eastern Airways, Inc. was ready to seek a merger with Slick). Slick had cut his rates to 12¾? in August. The scheduled airlines, getting big new planes, were able for the first time to meet this cut by shifting their displaced DC-4s to air freight.
