...shepherd of all Franklin Roosevelt's political herds. No believer in griping party purges, Jim Farley's mission was to soothe feelings already hurt in primary fights, encourage sheep and goats to stampede all together in November. His first stop was at Fond du Lac, Wis., his second at Sheboygan, Wis., his third at Clinton, Iowa. Altogether, Shepherd James Farley planned to stop, look & listen in more than 100 towns and cities, mostly in the Midwest and Northwest. His farthest stop: Seward, Alaska. One of his most important stops: this week's national convention of Young Democrats...
...Yangtze River battle front last week the Japanese marked up another victory. Held back for a fortnight by Chinese booms across the river at Matang and Matowchen, Japanese warships ploughed upriver, finally blasted Chinese defenders from Hukow. Capture of Hukow, lying at the top of China's second largest lake, Lake Poyang, gives the Japanese a jumping-off place for two drives on Hankow. One route leads down the navigable lake to Nanchang, main Chinese air base which was severely bombed last week, then across country to the vital Canton-Hankow rail-line. A more direct route lies straight...
...cinemaddicts may wonder: 1) why Fields pictures have never been exhibited in the U. S.; 2) why British audiences find her so funny. This first of three Fields pictures which Twentieth Century-Fox plans to make in its Pinewood studios, begs the first question but answers the second.

...poverty were dwarfed by the exiles represented: Abstractionist Paul Klee, Satirist George Grosz, Lyonel Feininger, who became a champion bicycle racer before he became one of the leading German cubists. For the London show, Austrian-born Oskar Kokoschka sent a wry Self-Portrait of a Degenerate Artist. A second canvas arrived in four pieces, hacked by Vienna police when Nazis seized Austria. Symbolizing the end of a chapter in German art more poignantly than any exhibition, Founder Ernst Kirchner died of tuberculosis in Davos, Switzerland, as the London Exhibition of 20th Century German Art was being assembled for its opening...
...Reginald A. Whitcombe, youngest of Britain's three famed Whitcombe brothers who during the past 15 years have won almost every major golfing prize in the Empire: the British Open golf championship; defeating a predominantly British field; with a 72-hole score of 295, two strokes better than second-place Jim Adams of Scotland and three strokes better than the favorite, Defending Champion Henry Cotton, considered by many the world's No. 1 professional golfer; at Sandwich. To Brother Reggie went the distinction of being the first of the Whitcombes to win the Open...
