...only heads of states whose wives last week were writing regularly for the New York daily press were Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Chiang Kaishek. The Chinese Premier & Generalissimo was holding out at Nanking, his frequently bombed capital (see p. 22). and the diary which Mme Chiang began cabling to Manhattan's Herald Tribune last week was in a different class from Mrs. Roosevelt's description of such events as how last week a baby bear reared up on its hind legs and might have scratched the side of the President's car had it not moved...
...Bishop of Alabama and assistant to Bishop William H. Heard. Last month, death came to 87-year-old Bishop Heard soon after he returned from Scotland where, during deliberations of the World Conference on Faith & Order, he was barred from an Edinburgh hotel, commiserated with by the Archbishop of York and Sir John Simon (TIME, Aug. 16). Bishop Sims earns $6,800 a year, rules his flocks with liberality, as contrasted with most African Methodist bishops, who generally disapprove of dancing and fun-making. But he is a disciplinarian, was quick last week to suspend the presiding elder...
...Manhattan, serious cinema students could find more nourishing fodder in: 1) the extracurricular Film & Sprocket Society at the College of the City of New York; 2) the pioneer film appreciation course at New York University, now in its first year; 3) Columbia's new studies in "History, Aesthetic and Technique of the Motion Pictures."

...September 1934. In the years preceding, local farmers and hunters went with guns every fall to the top of Hawk Mountain and blazed away at the migrating hawks. Between 3,000 and 5,000 were killed every season. In 1934, peppery Mrs. Rosalie Edge, militant head of the New York Emergency Conservation Committee, secured an option on the two square miles of Hawk Mountain, scrabbled together $924.40 to pay the expenses of a keeper and a deputy sheriff, presently bought the property...
...Waldorf-Astoria, a pile of smooth towers rising 47 stories from Manhattan's Park Avenue, opened its urbane revolving doors just in time to let in the cold whiffs of Depression. Three years later the hotel owed $3,385,000 in back rent to the New York Realty & Terminal Co. and tall, plump President Lucius Boomer had to handle a strike of restaurant workers (TIME, Feb. 5, 1934). Last week two celebrations at the Waldorf gave evidence that after three more years its staff and management were at least happy together. In the Empire Room for three days there...
