Violently upset last week was this clearinghouse press system. During the first hectic days after anschluss (TIME, March 21) the lid of Nazi censorship was harshly clamped on Vienna's journalists. Telephone calls for foreign correspondents were tapped, mail was watched, teletype communications halted. When Adolf Hitler made his belated Vienna speech, 55 newsmen, the bulk of the foreign corps, were summoned to receive press passes, promptly caged at the point of Nazi guns, allowed to watch the scene only through the Chancellery windows...
...railroad bigwig, J. J. Pelley was irked beyond measure. It was not merely that U. S. railroads face their greatest crisis. It was not merely that the Interstate Commerce Commission last fortnight gave the roads a 5.3% freight rate rise instead of the 15% the A.A.R. had requested (TIME, March 21). The cinder that really got in Mr. Pelley's eye was the fact that when President Roosevelt finally held his long-promised railroad conference last week he pointedly neglected to invite J. J.

...everybody knew, the vacancy was left by Richard Whitney, onetime president of the New York Stock Exchange, who was caught last fortnight stealing his customers' securities (TIME, March 21).

Kingsley Rodewald; 4) a plea of guilty...
...Between March 5 and March 12 U. S. automobile manufacturers spent $1,250,000 and their dealers spent perhaps an equivalent sum in the first concerted drive the industry has ever put on-National Used Car Exchange Week (TIME. March 7). Because there are 46,000 registered automobile dealers in the U. S. and an indeterminate number of independents with lots full of jalopies, statistics of their trade are never very precise. Estimates of the used car glut on March 5 ranged from 700,000 to 1,000,000, with the latter figure probably the more accurate (normal...
Speaking on the subject of "Hitler's Danube and Baltic approaches to Russia," Bruce C. Hopper '24, professor of Government, predicted that "the Red Army will probably not march West to defend Czechoslovakia, but the Kremlin might send an air expedition to the Czech flying fields...
