Congress was supposed to be in hot revolt against his domination when, in April 1934, President Roosevelt got back from his Southern fishing jaunt. Yet 30 Senators and 200 Representatives were at the station with a band to greet him. To them he then addressed, in grim good humor, his famed "tough guy" speech: "I have come back with all sorts of new lessons which I learned from barracuda and sharks . . . etc., etc." (TIME, April 23, 1934). Within a few days the revolt was over and Congress settled down to whip through the President's long list of "must...
Suddenly last week the Companys technique did not work at all. Late at night telephone communications with France were mysteriously cut. Hours later the story began to filter out of Barcelona that Anarchists had revolted against the Companys Government. Almost instantly jumbled barricades sprang up along the tree-lined Ramblas. The streets echoed with the Carong! Carong! of machine guns, the Hahp! of light artillery. Immediate objective of the Anarchist Black-&-Reds was the Barcelona telephone exchange, a building almost as imposing as the telephone skyscraper of Madrid. This they seized and held for seven hours.

...have always been a byword and a hissing to Wall Street, and-except for their late brief heyday-not too highly regarded in Washington. But in 1932 appeared a book by a professor, and a Spaniard at that, which was read with respect by brokers and Senators alike.

That book established Professor José Ortega y Gasset in the U. S. consciousness as an original and forceful thinker-about-civilization. Last week...
...cable of good wishes from Japan's Emperor Hirohito, indicating that Japan has no intention of recognizing the Insurgent regime of General Francisco Franco. Unperturbed, General Franco wiped the anniversary from the Rightist calendar, decreed a fiesta for May 2 to mark "the first triumphal year" of his revolt which began last July. The discrepancy of two months he overlooked in order to offset the "Red" May Day events which will be observed elsewhere in Europe...
...Voroshilov and Marshals Blucher, Yegorov, Tuckachevsky, and Budenny. Up to now the Ogpu has had its own troops, numbering some 240,000, and individually much better equipped than Red Army troops. As the Dictator's elite guards, these have rushed about Russia, here mercilessly mowing down a peasant revolt, there breaking a strike, next subduing a mutinous Red Army unit. Without need to take as gospel truth even the more authoritative Moscow rumors on this subject this week, it was possible to scan them as significant reminders of some of the sorest points festering these many years...
