...only leader of modern China who has inherited his authority is the well-meaning, hollow-eyed young man known throughout China as "The Young Mar-shal," Chang Hsueh-liang. He is the deposed warlord of Manchuria and, until last week, ruler of Peiping and the surrounding province. Last week destiny caught up with him and with the rest of China. Chang Hsueh-liang is the son of Chang Tso-lin, one of the most picturesque Chinese characters to emerge since the death of that grand old lady, the Empress Dowager Tzu-hsi. Chang Tso-lin was a bandit who made...

He is especially gifted in merchandising (Mr. Parson's talent was financial), has been in charge of the new 20? department since it was started...
...arbiter over their underwriting of 75% of the U. S. business. Industries from corsets to axe-handles have their "institutes," to settle disputes. But more & more tycoons are coming to believe that an absolute "tsar" is the only good solution. Rubber companies recently sought George Taylor Bishop as their ruler (TIME, April 18). Oil has often been on the verge of appointing one. The prime examples of U. S. business tsars are cinema's Will H. Hays, baseball's Kenesaw Mountain Landis...
