There was need for stout defense because the present Minseito Cabinet has been carrying on with a smaller number of seats in the Diet than are possessed by their potent rivals the Seiyukai Party. But great achievements stand to their credit: chiefly that of putting the yen back on a gold basis (TIME, Dec. 2). They hope to win the election by a thwacking majority. For the first time in 15 years they will be the party in power on election day, an advantage almost as formidable in Japan as in Mexico, Chicago or Rumania...
Brass-helmeted firemen, rushing to the rescue, found the Glen Theatre's doors blocked solid with bodies "like a wall of cement bags."

Best shot: interview between the cigar store owner...

A snowcovered stump at the end tore away the left wheel and part of the fuselage. Transcontinental Air Transport had to mark up one dead, two injured...
