...Keefe case, upholding the right of States to tax Federal salaries and abandoning John Marshall's preachment that "the power to tax is the power to destroy," represented the Court's major doctrinal departure for the term. It altered the nation's basic tax structure, opened the way for taxation of income from Government securities. Last fortnight the Court clinched this point by decreeing that judges' salaries, too, are taxable. Further, it laid open to multiple taxation private fortunes reposing in more than one State at death...
Strength. Comrade Molotov reminded Russia's neighbors that the U. S. S. R. has "grown in strength," and was no longer the exhausted nation of 1921, or even the comparatively healthy fledgling of five or ten years ago. In this estimate all Europe, dictators and democrats alike, seemed to agree last week. For if the Soviet Union was a negligible military power, as many a rumor had it last autumn (see p. 28A), then why all the courting...
...date, Correspondent John Gunther wrote a swift, popular handbook of present-day Europe. His system was to take a country, give the lives, habits and personalities of its leaders, put in a few choice anecdotes, make a few sound generalizations about the people, sketch in historical background, retell the nation's most recent and dramatic episodes and then move on to the next country, where the same process was repeated...

There were many small strikes and one big attempt at a general strike, all defeated. The nation wanted unity and strength and was willing to back him.

Late last December he staved off defeat by only seven votes...
...last week Francisco Sarabia was almost unheard of in the U. S., but in Mexico he is considered not only the nation's Lindbergh and Roscoe Turner but its Juan Trippe. He is president and co-founder (with his three brothers) of one of Mexico's most important native-owned airlines, the Compania Transportes Aéreos de Chiapas. Last year it carried approximately 17,000 passengers, 18,000 Ibs. of mail, 3,000,000 Ibs. of freight, made enough money to double its equipment. It now has 28 ships of a half-dozen makes, 14 pilots.
