...Representative Driver of Arkansas and now of New York's O'Connor. With Republican aid the six non-New Dealers have blockaded Administration measures, notably the Wages-&-Hours Bill. A chair-man far more amenable than John O'Connor would be the next man in line by seniority: Chicago's diligent old Adolph J. Sabath. But Mr. Sabath, 72, is not forceful. Gossip in Washington last week was that he might be asked, as a good New Deal soldier, to step aside and let a stronger man take the great Rules chair -perhaps a veteran drafted...
October 1st. The reported Chamberlain Map and the Hitler Map, superimposed upon each other (see cut, p. 14), show at a glance the geographical difference between the Berchtesgaden Plan and the Godesberg Demands. Either would give Germany all the most important fortifications of "the Czech Maginot Line," which encircles the West end of Czechoslovakia. To sanction either would mean that Britain and France had scrapped League and other post-War treaty obligations which have been supposed to safeguard the "territorial integrity" of Czechoslovakia...
Slowly, relentlessly, the Japanese army pushed on last week toward Hankow, with two columns racing to be the first to cut off the Chinese capital's railroad communications.

According to Nazi bigwigs, not a few of the 110,000 Jewish traveling salesmen thus left jobless are likely to be pressed into service digging on the Siegfried Line of German defenses against Fiance, where they will be paid 24? per hour...
More than 60% of the thousands who took to the air when last week's wind and rain washed out transportation facilities on the eastern seaboard (see p. 11) had never flown before. Between Manhattan and Boston, American Airlines, only line flying the 200 mile route, carries about 200 passengers on its ten scheduled flights back and forth. But on each of the first two days following the hurricane 1,000 passengers were flown from Manhattan to Boston alone and perhaps half that number carried from Boston to Manhattan by a combined service of four lines. By this week...
