Political Tampa had little expectation that the murderers would ever be punished. Backed by a potent roster of labor and liberal groups, Socialist Norman Thomas nevertheless set up a "Committee for the Defense of Civil Rights in Tampa." Eleven men, including the police chief, were indicted. Presently the desk sergeant on duty the night of the floggings fell, jumped or was pushed to his death from the window of a Tampa hospital. A onetime justice of the peace also at police headquarters that night died suddenly and mysteriously. A Tampa Ku Klux Klansman implicated in the case was declared...
...Schools for Leaders. It will take five more years to complete these elaborate establishments, featured by "castles" built like medieval keeps, where the Leaders will be schooled. Most nearly completed is Castle Crossen-see in Pomerania, where the Leaders sleep in low, thatched buildings intended to suggest National Socialist links with the peasantry and the soil. Training at Crossensee of the first class of Leaders has just been completed and they are now going to work as teachers of 1,080 Leaders, youths between 20 and 28 who have passed four rigorous physical examinations, are pure Aryans, will devote...
Exclaimed Le Populaire, newsorgan of the French Socialist Party and Vice Premier Leon Blum who last year became the first Socialist Premier of France and is soon to visit the White House: "It is the conscience of the civilized world which has answered bestial ferocity."

Returns from the first poll gave moderate bourgeois Premier Camille Chautemps, whose Radical Socialist Party is ludicrously misnamed, every reason to think that the French people have not swung to either extreme since they last voted in 1936, but favor the Popular Front Cabinet as its policies were recently revised and made less radical (TIME, Oct. 11). So far as could be judged, Socialist...
Next the Cardenas-dictated Congress sent a committee to San Luis Potosi to investigate "refraction against the Government and the Constitution." The committee returned with a report of Cedillo's sins, which included failure to establish socialist education, ownership of huge haciendas, failure to guarantee privileges to C. T. M. labor unions, permitting Catholic schools. The committee recommended that the Cedillo Government be ousted. Month ago Cardenas closed the Government aviation school in Potosi, ostensibly for economy, actually to remove a possible weapon from Cedillo. The old General countered with the purchase of six fast planes from...
