...their party's nominee in the Gashouse district by majority of nearly 1,000 votes (out of 4,900 cast) over Allen Welsh Dulles, a young lawyer of considerable polish and attainments, but no political experience. Not for generations has this G.O.P. nomination been considered worth the red fire to illuminate its defeat, but with a Tammany Irishman carrying it, with perhaps 8,000 anti-Roosevelt Democrats swinging in behind the Republican voters, the Gashouse district may well retain its Representative with only a change in his party label...
Actually Neville Chamberlain had spent three hours with Adolf Hitler, still trying to act as broker for Peace, studying newly drafted documents and a map freshly traced in red ink (see cut).

In a very long speech Commissar Litvinoff went no further than to divulge that the Red Army Staff had recently been anxious to join the French & British Army Staffs in conversations about how joint action could be taken against Germany. Although repeatedly complaining that the Red Army had not been invited to sit in, the Soviet Commissar answered at no time during the week the crucial question...
Said Dr. Nicoll to astounded reporters: "All the stitches have been absorbed into the heart tissue and cannot possibly cause any trouble. His diet ... is carefully regulated to build up red blood corpuscles. He isn't allowed to smoke or drink, though he is permitted to walk upstairs and do other things which persons with weak hearts should not do." Furthermore, he added, the 27-year-old patrolman has excellent chances for long life. Said jubilant William Manning: "I can hardly wait to get back on my beat. I drive my own car . . . and even play a little ball...
