...correspondents were concerned, when Argentine rebels shot up several rural areas and President Justo, after placing the entire nation under a "state of siege" clapped on all news the tightest censorship in years. Private cables assured the State Department that its chief was safe, proceeding with Mrs. Hull to Chile where he will sail home up the west coast of South America (he sailed down the east coast). According to President Justo, who had Argentine news decidedly all his own way, the series of rebellions was "crushed." It was started, he charged, by friends of the late but deathlessly popular...

It was not Columbia's idea to broadcast directly the voices of Congressmen in debate or dalliance. That departure in governmental publicity, tried in Chile but abandoned because it was too boring (TIME, April 3), would have to be sanctioned by act of Congress. Columbia News Service asked for gallery seats for three Columbia reporters who would take notes like any correspondents and relay the day's doings on the legislative floors via microphone. Hotly...
