Sunday before last Fox Movietone Cameraman Eric Mayell and Universal Newsreel's Norman Alley, lugging their cumbersome apparatus, struggled down to Nanking's shell-smashed Bund and frantically waved at a gunboat which was headed upriver. The Chinese were fleeing Nanking and Mayell and Alley did not plan to remain with a handful of their colleagues to witness the triumphal Japanese entry. The departing gunboat put off a motor sampan, which returned to pick them up. Thankful for their rescue and still a little worried for the safety of their friends they left behind, Mayell and Alley were...
Aboard the Panay, Messrs. Mayell and Alley joined 14 other civilians fleeing upriver, among them six journalists: Weldon James, United Press Nanking chief; G. M. McDonald of the London Times; Norman Soong of the New York Times; Luigi Barzina and Sandro Sandri, Italian correspondents; James Marshall, Collier's staff writer.

Infinitely patient U. S. Ambassador-at-Large Norman Hezekiah Davis, President Roosevelt's representative at the Brussels Conference (TIME, Nov. 22 et ante), stood deserted last week by the chief delegates of Britain, France and Russia. They had returned to their capitals, leaving second-stringers at Brussels, and leaving Ambassador Davis to keep his temper while the windup of the conference gave the Italian Delegate Luigi Aldrovandi-Marescotti, Count of Viano, opportunity to say that Rome "has deemed this conference entirely superfluous from the very beginning and has had no reason since to change its mind...
