...Wilmington, Del. Federal district judge. This time Weirton was accused of flagrant violation of the 1935 Wagner Labor Relations Act, of favoring its two company unions (Employees Representation Plan and Weirton Employees Security League) to the exclusion of all others- mainly C. I. O.'s Amalgamated Iron, Steel & Tin Workers-of terrorizing, intimidating, bribing, coercing its workers...
...Vatican (de facto) recognize as the newest of the Earth's States is, on the whole, naturally wealthier than the State it must conquer to survive. Leftist Spain has the mercury mines of Almaden. But these are more than matched by Rightist Spain's coal, iron, copper. The country's olive orchards, cork forests, vineyards are about evenly split between the two warring groups.

Using Pilsudski's coffin as his chief stock-in-trade, soft-spoken Smigly-Rydz has appealed in vain for all factions to heed the Old Marshal's wish for a unified Poland...
...pushover because: 1) only about 25,000 half-hearted Basques, Santandrians and Asturians remain to defend the city against Franco's 60,000 Moors, Foreign Legionnaires, Italians; 2) successfully over the Cantabrian Mountains, the three Rightist columns can coast down the sloping hills into Santander; 3) no "iron ring" protects the city, only ill-concealed machine-gun nests on the hillsides, a few straggly strands of barbed wire...
