...Along a ten-mile stretch on the farthest inland portion of the Ebro front, the Rightists hammered their way forward aided by strafing planes, hurled the Leftists back across the river and placed themselves in a position to make the rest of the Leftists' Ebro line untenable. Some 7,000 Leftists were reported killed, wounded or captured.

Last week Pan American started survey nights for a regular service from Seattle to Juneau, Alaska, last remaining zig in a zigzag line of connecting air routes up from the southernmost capital of the Western Hemisphere (Buenos Aires). The survey plane, a 15-passenger Sikorsky S-43, followed a roundabout route circling out over the ocean, not because she might not have flown over Canada but because Pan American would rather fly over water than land...
