...Chicago Tribune has been conducting a cross-country test of synthetic "Tribuna" tires (made of butadiene derived from waste sulfite liquor from the Tribune's paper mills). Driven by a Tribune reporter, the tires survived go-mile-an-hour driving in 150-degree heat in California's Death Valley, finally blew out the first shoe after 7,800 miles when the car hit a ditch across a mountain road...

Rome's La Tribuna openly boasted of Italian planes from Italian-held Majorca sinking 18 ships in 19 days. Rome's Giornale d'Italia likewise boasted five foreign ships bombed by Italian planes.
