This first sharp clash between Cedillo, former Minister of Agriculture who split with pudgy-cheeked President Lazaro Cardenas over the Government agrarian policy (TIME, Aug. 30), and Leftist Laborites, Mexican observers last week interpreted as the opening volley of a Mexican Right v. Left struggle. Unorganized, Mexican Rightists have been unable to present any formidable opposition to the 42-year-old "social revolution" of President Lazaro Cardenas. But last week, news-wise correspondents saw the Rightists rallying around swarthy-skinned General Cedillo, predicted that Mexico contained the makings of a little Spanish civil...
Last spring the Varsity ball team failed to cop the Eastern Intercollegiate League title due to a split with Yale in the League games. In the first game of the crucial series in which Harvard needed to grab both contests to take the crown, the Eli sewed up the top position by winning a sensational 14-inning game, 7-6, at New Haven on June 22. On June 23, on Soldiers Field, the Crimson assured themselves second place by staging a comeback, overcoming a large Yale lead, and winning 10-7. With the League games over, but the Yale series...
...snubbed Wyndham Mortimer, veteran first vice president and leader of the opposition, by upping young Richard Frankensteen, hero of the "Battle of the Overpass" at the Ford plait, to a new job as assistant president.

He fired an organizer who called a strike vote in a General Motors plant. By this time it was apparent that President Martin's long-awaited purge was in full...
Behind the comedy last week was a serious split in U.A.W.'s ranks-one so serious that John L. Lewis, who is reported to have no great faith in the Leaping Parson, may eventually intervene. President Martin is trying desperately to live down the union's reputation for irresponsibility. He has not only promised to discipline sit-downers but has also conceded to General Motors, as a condition to further negotiations on renewal of the union's contract, the right of the company to fire unauthorized sit-downers without recourse. Militant leaders know that in a growing...
...Great Britain's earnest efforts to provide for international consultation in case of war. We have primly stood aside and watched the democracies of Europe destroy one another with exorbitant tariff walls and injure the cause of peace by their own petty jealousies. Our stand-offish attitude has split the solidarity of those nations working for peace and the respect of international law, while it has also encouraged the marauding lawless powers to grow increasingly reckless in their violations of treaties and the principles of humanity...
