Arnold, chief of the Air Corps, Chief of Staff Malin Craig and others, the Senate Military Affairs Committee learned: 1) Ambassador-to-France William C. Bullitt months ago asked Douglas to show the French the new plane, was turned down because of Army objections; 2) Mr. Bullitt appealed to Franklin Roosevelt, who reversed the Army decision; 3) General Arnold signed the permit for French inspection of the plane on orders from...

In the Chamber of Deputies there were shrill demands-mainly from the Left-that France renounce the Spanish non-intervention policy and openly aid the Spanish Loyalists, just as Italy and Germany are openly helping the Rebels.

The list of its contributors-James Joyce, Thomas Mann, Virginia...
Author Martin, 38, edited hundreds of thousands of words before he wrote his first book. At Princeton, he was Chairman of the Daily Princetonian, became a charter member of the TIME staff before he left college. At various times he has filled nearly every editorial post on TIME, had a hand in FORTUNE, LIFE, MARCH OF TIME (radio and newsreel). A keen golfer, fish erman, huntsman, he once made a hole in one at Stoke Poges. In 1937 he broke the North American record for tuna (821 Ib.) off the Nova Scotian coast in a storm. General Manpower was written...
