Above, a mayor is murdered in Mexico and two settlers are ambushed in Israel. How Eliezer Krongold, formerly of Toronto, became an "American" in the headline is a question I can’t answer. Below, Austrian Jews fear reprisals after handbills reading "Hitler Will Not Return to Berlin Alive!" are found on the outskirts of Vienna … Two American Navy officers who survived when Japanese bombers sank their ship in the Yangtze River pay a visit to Los Angeles en route to San Francisco … The official newspaper of the Catholic Diocese of Vienna urges all Catholics to support the union with Germany … And a chain of New York salons picks the most handsome men for 1938: Women select Anthony Eden, Gary Cooper, Fred Astaire, the Duke of Windsor and Leopold Stokowski. Men select Eden, Cooper, Clark Gable, Lou Gehrig and Adolphe Menjou.

Quotes of the Day: "One Nation. One Reich. One Fuhrer" … "Hitler Means  Bread and Work for All" …  "Economic Reconstruction and Peace" –Slogans posted throughout Vienna.
