...preacher by training, and after he won the national hop, step & jump championship at 22 he was invariably called the "Leaping Parson." From the Leeds Baptist Church on the outskirts of Kansas City, where the deacons thought his labor gospel somewhat apocryphal, he leaped to a Chevrolet assembly line, then to leadership of a Kansas City local and finally in one tremendous leap to the front of C.I.O.'s noisiest, most turbulent union.

In this barren rocky country such fighting as takes place consists of open guerrilla raids. Many scrubby villages do not know for weeks at a time in whose territory they...
Front No. 3. From the Guadarramas, scene of the great Italian rout of March, round Madrid and down to Toledo are the strongest, finest fortifications in the entire line, works of which any World War engineer might be proud. Once again last week Rightist troops were assembling for still another attack on Madrid, urged on by German staff officers with the knowledge that few of their own men would be engaged...
