Thorez' greatest political liability-his absence from France during the war-is also his greatest political asset. It carried him and Jeannette Vermeersch to Russia. (How, they said last week, "is still a secret." But they did not deny that a Russian bomber might have taken them over part of the journey.) Thorez was living in Russia during the war, when the Russian Communist Party made a successful experiment which the French party is trying to repeat. Moscow fought the war with nationalist, not Communist, slogans. Would this technique be feasible outside the U.S.S.R.? The boys are now trying...
...Swift describing a happy breed of his imagination. It is a young Canadian writing of his little-known Eskimo neighbors in the Far North. Husky, handsome Bruce D. Campbell spent four years there as a trader for the Hudson's Bay Co. Three years later, his R.C.A.F. bomber was shot down over Germany, and he became a prisoner of war. To pass the time, he wrote this book about the wonderful white world of the 6.000 North American Eskimos (world Eskimo population...

He thinks the tail ought to come off: he believes that conventional airplanes will eventually be replaced by tailless flying wings. This week in Hawthorne, Calif.

...originally designed as a bomber, with the Army footing the $25,000,000 bill for developing and building the first two models. But Jack Northrop has his eye on the commercial field also. He claims that Flying Wing transports could carry 25% more weight 25% farther and faster than a conventional plane of identical power and weight. And it would be better suited for the upcoming jet motors. Northrop has built and flown four smaller two-motored models of this design. But when the big wing is test-hopped in two months, his theories will get their toughest practical test...
...bomb-chesty body of a four-engined Lancastrian (converted Lancaster bomber) rumbled up Buenos Aires' Morón airport, rose easily over the Plata estuary, and shrank into the east. A good turnout of proud British clapped politely. Regular biweekly service from Argentina to London (via Montevideo, Rio, Natal, Bathurst, Lisbon), by the soon-to-be-nationalized British South American Airways (B.S.A.A.), had begun...
