...executive assistant, George McEwen. Summarily fired by Madam Perkins, without the usual two-week notice, was Elmer Andrews' secretary and right-hand woman, handsome Eugenia Pope. Efficient, 33-year-old Miss Pope did much to make life bearable for her boss, fending off importunate callers and imposing order in an office not always noted for order. Miss Pope quickly got offers from other Federal bureaus and private business. Luckless Mr. Andrews, who gave up a $12,000-a-year job with New York State to take his $10,000 job in Washington, had nothing better in sight last week...

That day its British guardians put to sea for maneuvers and Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter issued the order: "Paragraph 11, acknowledge" (i. e., open all seacocks, scuttle the Fleet).

Franklin of the Shanghai Municipal Council announced that he might ask U. S. Marines to come into the International Settlement and do something the Japanese love to do-restore order. Puppet-elect Wang Ching-wei, popping in and out of his fortified castle in Shanghai's "badlands," announced he was "satisfied that Japan's peace conditions toward China do not infringe on China's sovereignty or territorial rights...
After a 600-mile ride by truck from Warsaw to the southeasternmost corner of what was Poland and after surviving a German bombing raid there; after traveling by specially chartered Rumanian train to the Black Sea port of Constantsa, and after evading a German order for internment there; after aimlessly riding the eastern Mediterranean in a Turkish boat for a week; after a brief stop in Syria; after traveling to France on a French naval vessel-after these weary wanderings a symbol arrived in Paris last week. It was solid and rare-gold in bars to the value...
