...court-martial in Tokyo since July 25. Their thankless job was to mete out justice to eleven Army cadets, confessed conspirators in the assassination of "Pacifist" Premier Ki Inukai (TIME, May 23, 1932). Not only for this are the cadets national heroes. They also plotted a coup to tear up the Japanese constitution, oust "grafting politicians" and restore "direct Imperial rule." Clearly the judges, who might themselves be assassinated should their sentence prove too harsh, faced a delicate predicament.

...north of Utica, became the focal point of disorder which finally required the armed services of most of the State Police. Some 400 farmers with axes and clubs blocked the passage of two Dairymen's League trucks escorted by a score of police cars. The officers hurled tear-gas bombs, clubbed the farmers. Just outside Boonville three trucks carrying 285 cans of milk were stopped by strikers and the milk poured onto the ground. At Van Hornesville, 50 mi. from Boonville, the pickets seized and dumped three cans of milk from the farm of Owen D. Young. Next...
