...leading nominations for Man of the Year, running in order listed, are: Senator Burton K. Wheeler, John L. Lewis, Charlie McCarthy, Chiang Kaishek, Justice Hugo L. Black, Surgeon General Thomas Parran...
...most flattering sign last week of Communist confidence in the ability of "Our Sun" to strike abroad came in no poem but in dispatches from Nanking.

From Shanghai arrived last week the best picture yet of Chiang's grim, steel-helmeted, Prussian-disciplined regulars advancing recently at Lotien in the teeth of Japanese fire which sprawled some grotesquely as they fell (see cut). Old-style Chinese troops, such as still compose most of the country's forces, would have fled in floppy straw...
