Last week, almost penniless, onetime Champion Carnera was discovered sprawled out on two beds in a Budapest hospital, wistfully admiring a silk bathrobe he used to wear in the ring. He had suffered a kidney hemorrhage and was definitely through with fighting. One of his few prudent acts while in the money will save him from the fuddled penury of most prizefighters' declining years. He had given his mother a little hotel in Venice. The injured and obsolete giant plans to go there and retire...

Hitler and Mussolini dislike the League of Nations but the suggestion of Horthy was believed in Budapest not to displease Berlin or Rome. His Serene Highness proposed that there be a European League, an Asiatic League and an American League -each to mind its own business. Anyone who knows Admiral Horthy is familiar with his sulphurous epithets for Stalin, and the Soviet Union-since two-thirds of its area is in Asia-would "naturally" belong only to his Asiatic League. The U. S. would be parked in the American League. Thus the European League would be chiefly a cozy corner...
