Having, to his surprise, won the nomination, Candidate Jenks waged an earnest campaign. When the ballots were counted, 550 more were tallied for him than for his Democratic opponent, Alphonse Roy (TIME, Dec. 7 et seq.). Democrat Roy demanded a recount. The recount showed the first Congressional tie in 110 years-51,679 to 51,679. New Hampshire's Secretary of State Enoch D. Fuller, who had been Candidate Jenks's opponent in the Republican primaries, suggested a recount. This gave the election to Democrat Roy by 17 votes. Next Candidate Jenks demanded a recount of the recount...
...extravagance and truculence toward China. It was largely the quiet influence of the navy that saw proper punishment meted out to the hysterical young army officers who last year murdered famed Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi and captured Tokyo's magnificent Metropolitan Police Building (TIME, March 9, 1936, et seq.). In the 1931 invasion of Manchuria Japan's navy did its duty but tepidly.

Many times during the week Japanese army reinforcements were reported...

With proud heart and bayonets raised, be ready...
When Russia first told an incredulous world of its plan to establish a transpolar airline to the U. S., it announced that its No. 1 flyer, Sigismund Levanevsky, would make the first trip (TIME, June 14 et seq.). Instead, this bootblack's son who is often called "the Soviet Lindbergh" was left behind at the last minute and Valeri Chkalov took his place. When the second successful junket was made month later by three other Soviet airmen, Flyer Levanevsky began to be mentioned in dispatches as in jail and scheduled for execution in one of J. Stalin...
Another step in the practical consolidation of the Hearst empire (TIME, July 5 et seq.) was accomplished last week when International News Service took over Universal Service. Universal was the personal mouthpiece of William Randolph Hearst. It went to his morning papers, carrying news written to reflect the Chief's most cherished ideas. It also carried his biggest personal scoops, like the positive statement last November that Edward VIII would marry Mrs. Simpson...
