...Busily tugging the teats of some of her husband's cows last week was Mrs. Carla de Vries, the woman who kissed Adolf Hitler at the Olympic Games last year (TIME, Aug. 24, 1936, et seq.). George de Vries' 1,000-cow Vitamin D Dairy in Norwalk near Los Angeles was strike-bound by C. I. O.'s Dairy Workers' Union. Plodding up & down the picket line led by a striking herdsman was a placid Jersey cow bearing the placard: I WON'T BE MILKED BY A SCAB...
After raging furiously for over a fortnight the "Battle of Madrid" simmered down last week to a peevish interchange of inconsequent bombardments. The great Leftist offensive launched "to raise the Siege of Madrid" (TIME, July 26 et seq.) had been broken by the Rightists at Brunete and not a single structure stood last week in that shattered spearhead of the Madrid defenders' advance.

Toothy Mr. Yin, who looks most of the time like a startled rabbit, is a Chinese with a potent Japanese in-law who became a "general" overnight by so styling himself, and by the grace of Japanese bayonets. He was ruling uneventfully last week in his strategic bailiwick which lies...
...Securities & Exchange Commission's two-year-old investigation of manipulation in Bellanca Aircraft shares by famed Broker Michael J. Meehan (TIME, Nov. 4, 1935 et seq.): A Decision, the first involving manipulation since SEC was set up, ordering Broker Meehan barred from all U. S. stock exchanges. To the nervous little broker whose name in stockmarket history was written in Radio stock during the Coolidge bull market, the order will mean little in money, much in honor. His health broken by SEC's interminable proceedings, Mike Meehan has not been active for more than a year...
