...imperiled U. S. S. R., Communists in 1935 postponed the revolution, began to woo. They fashioned a domestic program so broad that no liberally minded citizen or group could oppose all of it all the time, thus were able to claim vast support for "collective security." One stanch unit of the U. S. Front was (and is) the American League for Peace and Democracy. Last year 15,000-odd Manhattanites paraded for it. Last week, the League marshaled only 4,200 (including famed Artist Rockwell Kent...

As a result of cooling generators by hydrogen rather than air, the power output per pound of fuel is increased by 20%, and the fuel saving on a 200,000-kilowatt unit tots up to $20,000 a year. There is no fire or explosion hazard, because oil seals keep the hydrogen purity in the cooling chamber above 98%, and hydrogen will not ignite without more of an air mixture than that...
From Vienna (produced by the Refugee Artists Group). One by one, after Anschluss, the members of a young Viennese theatre group called the Wiener kleinkunstbühne found their way to the U. S. as refugees. By last winter they were a unit again, eager to act. Few knew any English, but they plugged away at the language. They had no resources, but they found such sponsors as Mr. and Mrs. George S. Kaufman, Irving Berlin, Edna Ferber, Max Gordon, Sam H. Harris. Last week they presented their first U. S. revue...
