Good-hearted Russians grinned when Secretary Wilbur of the U. S. Department of the Interior, skirting Statesman Stimson's official position of not recognizing Moscow, appealed personally, unofficially to the Soviet Government for help for U. S. Flyer Carl Ben Eielson, lost along the coast of Siberia, spurred Alaska's acting Governor Karl Theile to send frantic appeals to two Soviet ships in Siberian waters. Russians were aware that already blunt Senator Borah had cabled for aid directly to Soviet Acting Foreign Minister Litvinov...
Since the atheistic, anarchistic Camorra has been theoretically wiped out in Fascist Italy by Il Duce, Contributor Mussolini prudently lays the scene of his novel in New York. Tricolore's cover carries a gaudy lithograph showing a U. S. Coast Guard officer blazing away with a shotgun at a fleeing motorboat filled with scowling Black Handers...
Meantime, Pan-American was busy. It opened its air-rail from U. S. points, by way of Miami, to Latin-American countries. It cut its airmail rates from the U.

S. doctors to inspect northern South American districts when the Pan-American Medical Association meets in Panama City the end of this month. It ordered from Designer-Manufacturer Igor Sikorsky two of the largest amphibians yet made. These...
There are Eskimo and Tchuktchis Indian villages about every 15 miles along the north Siberian coast where Eielson and Borland presumably floundered. They may be squatting sheltered in a native's snow-drifted skin-&-driftwood house. If so, they did not see or were unable to signal a searching plane which flew from Teller, base of relief operations, to the Nanuk. The plane is still at the ship, held down by dismaying weather, scant fuel...
...neat village of ten frame buildings, a group of flannel-shirted, khaki-trousered flyers in fur parkas and mukluks, stomped around in helpless patience last week. What planes they had, light open ones, could not ram through the foggy wind wall. But able help was en route. The Coast Guard cutter Chelan landed three Fairchild cabin planes and Canadian crews at Seward, whence they were shipped by rail to Fairbanks. There the Canadians assembled their planes and flew them towards Teller. They undoubtedly can jump the wall...
