...stately, leisurely air which earned it the name "Land of the Afternoon"-a train pulled this week, the rear car of which was painted service khaki. It carried the U. S. members of the Joint Defense Council. Photographers asked Fiorello LaGuardia to stand on the car steps and wave his huge hat, but the mayor put his chin down, refused to pose, and rebuked them: "This isn't exactly a joy ride...
...Cover) There has never before been an air battle such as was fought last week in the sky over Britain. First a wave of German bombers would come over, escorted by more than their own number of fighters, ranged in tiers above them to engage as many British fighters as possible before succeeding bomber waves arrived. The British fighters on "standing patrol" along the Channel met them on two levels, one force to shoot down bombers, one to fight fighters. Often, as the British engaged the Germans, a second and third wave of bombers appeared and more British fighters would...
While delegates to the N. A. B. convention in San Francisco shrilly belabored ASCAP last week (see above), a lumbering, thick-maned Mexican, ensconced in a room in the swank Mark Hopkins Hotel, was trying to persuade U.

Although his presence at the convention went almost unnoticed, the Mexican was one of the most important figures in Mexican radio. His name: Emilio Azcarraga. His title: President of the Mexican Broadcasting Association...
Although the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, by which Mexico, Canada, Cuba and the U. S. hope to unsnarl the untidy tangle of wave lengths in this continent, will probably not go into effect until late this year, Mexico is trying to straighten out its aerial relations with the U. S. Soon to go into effect is a U. S.-Mexican agreement to exchange four clear channels from Mexico for four clear channels from the U. S. Benefited by this agreement will be 90,000 set owners in the Federal District, more than half of the owners elsewhere in Mexico...
Leaving Lisbon, the Excalibur moved steadily as a train across a bright, glassy Atlantic, and the Duke went up on the bridge to wave to a Clipper which soared overhead, and exchanged radio greetings with its skipper. Resting aboard the Clipper, unaware of the waving Duke, was Refugee Baron Eugene de Rothschild at whose Austrian castle Edward lived in seclusion after his abdication and before his marriage to Mrs. Simpson. In a suite of cabins aboard the Excalibur, enclosing a private veranda, the Windsors entertained the U. S. diplomats & wives privately, but often walked their dogs on the public decks...
