Among distinguished founders of the Spanish Republic (TIME, April 20, 1931, et seq.) was Dr. Gregorio Marañon y Posadillo, famed biologist who was jailed under the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, was close in the running to be elected the Republic's first President. Said he last week: "The tyranny of General Primo de Rivera was just and tolerant compared to the oppressions of the present Madrid-Valencia regime. Every day they are killing men and women simply because they are suspected of having independent opinions. All the intelligentsia of Spain, with the exception...
Thus does Marching Song deal with a sit-down strike in an automobile town called Brimmerton. As will be evident from the partial inventory above of its dramatic materials, it is not a hastily concocted case history of the General Motors strike in Flint (TIME, Jan. 11 et seq.).

Last week such veteran correspondents as the New York Times P. J. Philip scarcely veiled their overwhelming hunch that the French, Italian and German Ambassadors and Sir Robert were sealing the fate of Valencia. Headlined the Times: POWERS WILL DROP NEUTRALITY POLICY TO LET FRANCO...
Reputedly suffering from a tropical disease, bluff British Promoter Francis William Rickett, who wangled Standard Vacuum Oil Co.'s short-lived Ethiopian oil concession of 1935 (TIME, Sept. 9. 1935 et seq.), resigned as Master of Foxhounds of the Craven Hunt in Berkshire when his doctors forbade him to ride for ten months...
