Next Japanese objective was another so-called "Chinese Hindenburg Line." The first, an impressive array of cement pillbox forts strung across the Yangtze delta back of Shanghai, was supposed to defend Nanking, but the defenders simply fled, not waiting to be attacked (TIME, Nov. 29). This Hindenburg Line, much more heavily fortified and built under German military engineers during the past six years, was constructed to resist an attack from the north at just about the point the Japanese have reached this week, a few miles north of Suchow. But now, if the Japanese cannot take it from the north...
...Diplomatic convention provides that when a new Ambassador arrives in Washington, he array himself in a cutaway, pay a formal call at the White House. By mutual agreement, this procedure was dispensed with last week in the case of Dr. Don Leon de Bayle, newly appointed Minister from Nicaragua, who arrived at the White House in a business suit, greeted the President in his office instead of the stately Blue Room, puffed a cigaret while the President chatted with him for 15 minutes...

...Buckets for the well, poles for American Tel. and Tel. . . . The better mouse trap, the movie mag, the mast to hoist our country's flag . . . that's what we chop when we cha-ha-ha-hop a tree").

Behind an array of such box-office buoys as sailors named Butch, Sock and Lucky (Pat O'Brien, Wayne Morris, Frank Mc-Hugh), Warner Brothers demonstrate the advances that have been made in undersea safety since the disasters that befell the S-4 and S-51* in the last decade...
...wind changes." Mindful of the "bad smells"* that have come from the South recently, and with an avowed pro-underdog bias. Author Caldwell and Photographer Bourke-White went down to look things over. After a year and a half of investigation they returned with a skeletonized, unemotional array of case histories, native opinion, commentary and camera evidence on the drearines's and degradation of plantation workers' lives that will chill the stomachs of Northern readers, may remove what charm remains for them in Mammy songs...
