...NLRB collided in a test of State v. expanding U. S. sovereignty. In paternalized Newton, where C. I. 6. employes of The Maytag Co. are striking against a pay cut (TIME, July 25), Governor Kraschel had declared martial law, closed the recently reopened Maytag plant. Reason: Maytag rejected a settlement proposed by Kraschel arbitrators, started the plant against the Governor's wishes, precipitated fighting between non-union and C. I. O. men. While Kraschel troopers ruled Newton and the Governor garnered much labor support in his campaign for reelection, NLRB Examiner Madison Hill heard testimony that Maytag, local authorities...
...sovereignty of Czechoslovakia. 3) It was certain that Mr. Chamberlain's quiet aversion for the Soviet Union, plus his long standing resolve to draw Britain, Germany, France and Italy into a common accord at the first opportunity, made the inclusion or exclusion of Moscow from any pending Czechoslovak settlement the most difficult point in the discussions at Paris last week. French Premier Edouard Daladier, although his personal estimate of the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin is much the same as that of Neville Chamberlain, considers that Russia is potent and that France must have, in addition to Britain, another...
...from being the final settlement of the Chaco dispute, however, the mediators realized that this accord was merely the first step. Three more important steps remain: 1) the treaty must be ratified by the two nations within 20 days, in Paraguay by a plebiscite, in Bolivia by constitutional assembly; 2) within two months of this approval, representatives of the mediating nations must establish the boundary in the Chaco; and 3) Paraguay and Bolivia must accept it.

Solicitor Mitchell said he had offered the Count $250,000 as a gesture-a "settlement for life." When the Count said $250,000 was "laughable and an insult," Solicitor Mitchell countered: "I wish somebody would insult me." Threatening to give the already much-publicized Countess Barbara "three years of hell with headlines," the Count was then represented by Solicitor Mitchell as having talked of suicide, murder, blackmail and kidnapping. This prompted Countess Barbara to have the Count arrested when he came to England. "If I blow my brains out everybody will know Barbara drove me to it," Solicitor Mitchell quoted...
...Salvation Army has recently repatriated over 200 men who have served out their time. About 93,000 convicts have been sent to French Guiana since the penal colony was established in 1852. Some commentators have pictured the colony as a happy, carefree settlement. The French Guiana climate is always humid, with the temperature ranging from 68 to 90 degrees, with frequent trade winds from both southeast and northeast. Undeniable fact, however, is the large number of deaths, which each year has generally equaled the number of importations, as well as the large number of men of broken health and spirits...
