Decartelization-dissolution of agreements to control prices, markets, etc.-was not going along satisfactorily. Furthermore, deconcentration-the actual sale of assets held or controlled by the cartels-had got nowhere, partly because of Allied political differences. The committee recommended deconcentration of the plants of the I.G. Farben empire, a mainstay of the Nazi war machine. General Lucius Clay, then Military Governor of Germany, retorted that any further break-up of German enterprises "would be a political and not a security measure." His staff, which got much of the blame from the committee, was even sharper. Sneered his economic adviser Lawrence...
...girl mouth along with the words. The result was just awful . . . The image was most unattractive . . ." Dorothy even made threats to sue for "plenty . . . Imagine putting on that horrible-sounding mess and telling everybody I was doing it . . ." Said Milton, through his lawyers: "She is unfamiliar with the actual facts . . ." Then he began trying, still unsuccessfully at week's end, to get Dorothy to appear in person on his next show...
...actual fact, the Russians can do nothing about Bishop Dibelius short of using naked force; he can only be legally deposed by those who elected him-his fellow churchmen.

His statisticians, revising their previous estimates of the 1949 harvest, boosted the total possible yield to 1,336,976,000 bushels, just under 1947's alltime record of 1,364,919,000 bushels. But the actual harvest, which so far had only gone through a few counties in Texas and Oklahoma, was surprisingly turning out anywhere from 30% to 50% smaller than Brannan's estimates (the farmers blamed joint worms, rain and hail for cutting it down). Nevertheless, if the crop proved...
...Gambling," says Painter Graham Sutherland, "is awfully like painting. However much you know about painting there's always the gamble as to whether that actual physical touch will do what you want it to." At 45, Sutherland is one of Britain's best landscape painters; until lately he had never tackled realistic portraiture. When his first try, a full-length oil of Author Somerset Maugham, was finished last week, artist and sitter agreed that the gamble had paid...
