...from the cot on which he nearly fasted to death (TIME, May 22 et seq.) rose shriveled Mahatma Gandhi last week. With Mrs. Gandhi at his side he hobbled out of the palatial villa at Parnakuti, near Poona, loaned him for his fast by eccentric Lady Thackersey. Creeping into a motor car he was driven into Poona at a dusty 50 m.p.h. to face the executive committee of his All-India National Congress Party. The committee was restive, if not rebellious.

...offering to the Nazis, they dissolved their Catholic Centre Party, the Party which fought Prince Bismarck so stoutly three generations ago. the Party which gave to the German Republic one of its greatest Chancellors, pale, ascetic, tremendously hard-working Bachelor Heinrich Brüning (TIME, April 7, 1930 et seq.). Seventy-three Catholic Centre Deputies of the German Reichstag and 68 in the Prussian Diet were refused permission to join the Nazis last week and became ''men without a party."

Last week Comrade Litvinov agreed to free the two engineers...

Last week sentimental Cuban matrons murmured that love can cure and conquer all. One thing was certain. Spain's one-time Crown Prince Alfonso no longer looks tainted. From 92 Ib. his weight has climbed to 136-since the day twelve months ago when into the Swiss sanatorium where he was lying came a ripe-lipped, radiant Cuban patient, Senorita Edelmira...
...Hopewell. N. J., "to provide for the welfare of children, including their education, training, hospitalization and other allied purposes without regard to race or creed." Col. Lindbergh organized non-profit-making High Fields Corp., to hold the estate. Since the kidnapping of their son (TIME, March 14, 1932 et seq.) the Lindberghs have lived at the Morrow home in Englewood. N. J. and, fearing morbid exploitation, have refused all offers for the Hopewell estate...
