The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine ROME—As a boy in his teens, Galeazzo Ciano, son of vigorous Italian War Admiral Count Costanzo Ciano, was a fascist zealot like his father. Soon after taking a law degree at the University of Rome, he became theatre and book reviewer on Rome's first fascist newspaper, wounded a columnist in a duel, later signed him up as a fascist. In 1925 he barely passed examinations for the diplomatic service, was assigned routine duty in South America, was later sent to China. When Premier Mussolini concluded a treaty with Pope Pius XI in settlement of the "Roman Question," Father Ciano had Son Ciano recalled from China, squeezed into the Italian embassy to the Holy See as first secretary—a job he filled with distinction. After a brief but passionate courtship, Galeazzo married Il Duce's favorite daughter Edda, was appointed consul general at Shanghai, later made minister to China. Then minister of press and propaganda in Rome. But neither Edda nor Galeazzo saw much future in propaganda. Then, when the dictator started his conquest of Ethiopia, Wife Edda showed her spunk by seeing to it that Husband Galeazzo became the first aviator to drop bombs, the first to alight in Addis Ababa. From time to time Il Duce snorts: "My successor has yet to be born!" But he has no objection to favorite Daughter Edda's reign minister of any great power. Then, last week, Count Ciano was made a general in the fascist militia, sent to Berlin to confer with Dictator Adolf Hitler on the erection of a new European hierarchy against Soviet Russia and the spread of communist influence in Europe. In effect this was to be a substitute for Mussolini's four power pact between Italy, Britain, Germany and France which fell to pieces when the nations quarreled over the Ethiopian war. Greeted with deafening German "heils" and an imposing turnout of uniformed German officials, Statesman Ciano was packed off to Fuhrer Hitler's Bavarian snuggery, there initialed an agreement: (1) In return for recognizing Italy's conquest of Ethiopia, Germany receives trade concessions in the empire; (2) Germany and Italy will pursue toward the League of Nations a common policy, presumably hostile; (3) Neither country will break off relations with the radical Madrid government; both will likely recognize the Spanish rebels as Spain's government when Madrid falls; (4) Italy supports Germany's contention that Russia should be excluded from the drafting of a new Locarno pact to be signed only by Britain, France, Italy, Germany; (5) Trying not to interfere with each other's schemes, both countries will pursue their present economic and political expansion in the galleries empty and most town people ignorant of what was happening, King Edward VIII's American friend Mrs. Ernest Aldrich (Wallis Warfield) Simpson was last week granted in 20 minutes a decree nisi divorce from his shipbroker husband at the Wich, Eng., Assizes, and in two months (or less, at the discretion of the court) will receive a fine decree "unless" (nisi) the King Proctor, Sir Thomas Barry meanwhile finds evidence disgruntleable to her. In Rushmere village, conveniently adjacent to Ipswich, Mr. Simpson occupied a small railing bungalow to await heart of the case of Simpson vs. Simpson in which she was petitioned To Mrs. Simpson King Edward has recently given royal pots some from Buckingham Palace, a royal housekeeper named Mrs. Mason, crack Chauffeur George Ladbrooke and a discern black Canadian Buick sedan, 2 lb.

A London fist also revealed that King Edward worth of long-stemmed red rose every day, or about 15 dozen summer when they are cheap five dozen in mid-winter while they are dear. News of the King and Mr. Simpson was last week still lingering withheld from the British public by the press' self-consciouship, but United States no papers which arrived with screaming headlines and long stories them were sold on British no stands. In a front-page cartoon in the Chicago "Tribune" J Tinney McCutcheon depicted aganda in Rome. But neither Edda nor Galeazzo saw much future in propaganda. Then, when the dictator started his conquest of Ethiopia, Wife Edda showed her spunk by seeing to it that Husband Galeazzo became the first aviator to drop bombs, the first to alight in Addis Ababa. From time to time II Duce snorts: "My successor has yet to be born!" But he has no objection to favorite Daughter Edda's unconcealed ambitions for her Galeazzo, who she believes will become Italy's new dictator when Father Mussolini lays aside the cares of state. Step up was his recent appointment as foreign minister at 33, the youngest fornation with the radical Madrid government; both will likely recognize the Spanish rebels as Spain's government when Madrid falls; (4) Italy supports Germany's contention that Russia should be excluded from the drafting of a new Locarno pact to be signed only by Britain, France, Italy, Germany; (5) Trying not to interfere with each other's schemes, both countries will pursue their present economic and political expansion in the Danube countries. "SCREWY IDEA" NEW YORK—At liberty until the baseball season opens next spring, First Baseman Lou Gehrig of the World Champion New York Yankees offered himself to Hollywood film producers for the role of Tarzan, hitherto acted by Swimmers Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabbe. Donning a leopard skin for Manhattan news cameramen last week, Yankee Gehrig threw out a hairy chest, crowed: "It may sound like a screwy idea to you guys but I'm serious ... I've always hustled at everything I've taken up... I'll give it all I have. I'd even wrestle lions." Cornered by news-hawks as he boarded the "Queen Mary" for Europe, "Tarzan" Weissmuller tartly observed: "I suppose they'll be making me a ball player next."

One, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge, 4½ miles in length, the world's longest span, will be dedicated Nov. 12 and opened to traffic two days later. The other, the second longest span in the world, swinging almost two miles across far-famed Golden Gate, is scheduled for completion in March, 1937. Together these two epic structures will weld a score of detached towns and cities into a unified community of nearly The wire length of the giant cables would circle the globe eight times.

ZENS DIES— TROIT—Reputedly the rich man in the United States senate a strong advocate of high-income taxes for the wealthy,igan's 64-year-old Senator last week died of uremic illness. SHADOW SCHEME— LONDON—Philanthropic Lord Nuffield, the "Ford of Britain," maker of the Morris automobile, marched out of the air ministry last week and stirred up a public scandal by condemning its "shadow aircraft engine industry," by announcing that he had said to Lord Swinton, His Majesty's secretary of state for air: "Well, God manager, sold out his interest to Henry Ford in 1915 for some $30,000,000. In 1919 he ran for mayor of Detroit, warned voters he was not "a good fellow," who will do favors for his friends," was elected. Three years later he was in the United States senate. Last September Republican Couzens plumped for Democratic Presidential Nominee Roosevelt, lost renomination in Michigan's primaries.

When air ministry officials recently maneuvered Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin into dismissing Permanent Undersecretary Sir Christopher Bullock, only man with a practical grasp of Britain's colossal air rearmament problems, able British airmen expected something would go wrong. Lord Nuffield explained that ministry's secret shadow scheme: One factory is to make the crankshafts of British airplane engines, another the cylinders, a third the ignition systems, etc. Vehemently he pointed out to Lord Swinton that under any such scheme an enemy bomb which destroyed any one the factories could break the chain of British aircraft engine manufacture and bring it to a standstill. With the prestige of powerful Britons behind it, the "shadow" plan was not scrapped, but in their new anxiety air ministry officials decided it would be safer to order at least 700 fighting planes in the United States. Since, under congress' so-called espionage act of June 15,1917, it may still be a crime (20 years imprisonment) to export equipment such as fighting planes if there is "reason to believe that it is used to the injury of the United States or the advantage of a foreign nation..." the Vancouver branch of the United States Boeing Airplane Co. was rumored likely to blue ribbon and a $20 prize, returned to her pen and delivered another piglet, returned to the ring and won the senior championship and a $10 prize, returned to her pen and delivered piglet No. 13, returned to the ring and won the grand championship and another $10 prize. FREE LOVE— NEW YORK—Western Union Telegraph Co. announced that, to keep the word "telegraphically alive," "love" may henceforth be added free to any of Western Union's 554 ready-written messages. Originator of "free love" is 71-year-old Vice President John Calvin Willever, originator of most other Western union epistolary innovations in the past quarter century. With Western Union longer than any man now in active service, J. C. Willever's name has appeared on every one of the company's blanks since 1916—more than 5,000,000,000 times. Convinced that telegrams were adaptable to all social nuances, Willever first created special holly-leaved blanks for Christmas messages in 1914. Next, observing that the mental strain involved in composing social telegrams plunged many a pencil-chewing patron into despondency, he had branch office managers keep scrapbooks of sentiments they thought were nearly burned. From these he culled and issued in 1915 a grey booklet of "suggestions" for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, birthday, wedding, birth, death, congratulation messages. By 1924 all occasional messages were keyed so that Western Union could send them by merely dispatching the code number of the message with the addressee's name, the sender's signature.

E. Mills, superintendent of the Whitier State school has been announced as speaker for the general session. Lindbergh members were in charge of the meeting of the study section of the Grand avenue and Lindbergh associations yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. A. E. Rayburn on South Grand avenue. Britain's gaunt Biologist Julian Huxley arranged to have Dr. Thoma carry on at the London Zoo. There, not wishing to waste time on aloof or doltish subjects, the Austrian psychologist conducted a musical test to determine which chimpanzee was the most impressionable, later reported: "When the animals' curiosity toward the instruments had abated somewhat—they tried to tear the instruments away from us and play on them themselves—I discovered, to my surprise, that a soulful modern tango made a greater impression than an equally modern but turbulent foxtrot." Most fascinated by the music was a 7-year-old male named Peter. Dr. Thoma got Peter's attention fixed on a shiny metal knob, gradually withdrew the knob so that theape's gaze was adroitly transferred to his own intently staring eyes. Then, in a monotonous voice he intoned, "Ooh— U.C. Alumni To Form Unit In Southern Are Meeting in honor of President Robert Gordon Sproul, 400 graduates and former students of the University of California will inaugurate the Southern California district of the California Alumni Association's new regional organization. Designed with the idea of better representing university graduates throughout the state, the new regional organization is being sponsored by the association for its local membership. The state has been divided into eight districts, one of which is called the Southern California district and is composed of Los Angeles Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Plans for local alumni activities will be announced at the regional dinner, which will occur on the evening of the Southern California football game, Friday, November 6. These will include the sponsorship of alumni meetings and lectures, the formation of a Los Angeles Alumni club, the establishment of a permanent scholarship fund, and other activities. In addition to President Sproul Coach Brutus Hamilton, PaCadman, former dean of men at the University of California and secretary of the San Francisco stock exchange, and Robert Silley, executive manager of the alumni association, will take part in the dinner program. Announce design harmony have set a new high in engineering art. The two bridges are a realization of San Francisco's fondest hopes. The city, built on the tip end of a peninsula, has only one land approach, from the south, and slow-moving car ferries have been its sole connection with a heavily populated mainland. Every day some 75,000 commuters crowd the boats that serve the Bay communities. Even worse, perhaps, from commercial standpoint was this isolation because the encircling bay compelled trans-shipment of every ton of the city's food supply. And so San Francisco glories in its "twins," the bridges. It sees the inauguration of one of the world's greatest rapid transit systems. It sees new expansion of trade and terminals and travel along the whole Pacific coast. It sees the linking of a great metropolis strikingly like that of New York's. The whine of winches and the rat-a-tat-tat of the riveters, high above Pacific waters, makes sweet music for California. fair in the summer of 1934. Will ever offered form telegrams of greeting deliverable anywhere in the United States for 25c, found this stunt so successful that this year all Western Union "fixed texts" were put on a fixed rate basis. Willever categories have been expanded to include Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, bon voyage, Yom Kipper; congratulations on engagement, promotion, election, success of artist, making a speech, wedding anniversary, opening a new store; "kiddiegrams" to be sent to children. Form telegrams can be sent upon ascending Pike's Peak, and Willever is preparing others for Niagara Falls, Atlantic City. CAPONE'S TAXES— MIAMI BEACH—In 1931 the federal government sent Public covered, to my surprise, that a soulful modern tango made a greater impression than an equally modern but turbulent foxtrot." Most fascinated by the music was a 7-year-old male named Peter. Dr. Thoma got Peter's attention fixed on a shiny metal knob, gradually withdrew the knob so that the ape's gaze was adroitly transferred to his own intently staring eyes. Then, in a monotonous voice he intoned, "Ooh—aah—ooh—aah," made "magnetic passes," from Peter's head down to his middle, while an attendant held the ape. Peter smirked a little at first as if he were invulnerable, then his eyelids drooped and he slowly collapsed in a trance, with one arm outstretched like a dozing farmhand's and one foot comfortably resting on the opposite thigh. As Peter remained in this "torpid condition" for seven minutes, Biologist Huxley goggled in utter astonishment. Unable to ascertain what was going on in Peter's subconscious mind during the experiment, Dr. Thoma nevertheless smilingly declared: "This initial success with the chimpanzee fills me with optimism..." CAPONE'S TAXES— MIAMI BEACH—In 1931 the federal government sent Public Enemy Al Capone to jail for eleven years for evading income tax payments amounting to $51,000. To collect this sum, plus accrued interest at 12%, the government last week put up for sale Capone's gaudy island estate off Florida's Miami Beach. In Moab, Utah, his old armored limousine, on tour as a crime exhibit, was junked after a wreck. IMPRESSIONABLE PETER LONDON—Holder of the record for mass hypnosis is rugged, persevering Dr. Leopold Thoma, University of Vienna psychologist who once entranced 180 people at a crack, has spent some 30 years exploring the therapeutic uses of hypnosis on stammering, neuroses, childbirth pain. Years ago Dr. Thoma decided to see what he could learn by applying hypnotic technique to highly intelligent animals, chose the chimpanzee. The sort of frozen trance which scientists have induced in chickens, rabbits, partridges and sea lions by suddenly forcing them into unnatural positions is, Dr. Thoma believes, not hypnosis but a form of cataplexy (fear rigidity). When he tried such tactics on chimpanzees, they simply got up from their unnatural positions with an air of patient boredom, forced him to the conclusion that their intelligence called for human methods.
