...good and should, of course, be nationalized. Part of the reason is that I.C.I, has always tended towards monopoly and never made any bones about it. Its longtime boss, Lord McGowan (TIME, Jan. 17, 1944), was an outspoken champion of monopoly, and he eagerly made a deal with Du Pont to stay out of the U.S., if Du Pont would stay out of Britain. (After Du Pont and I.C.I. came under antitrust fire in 1944, most of their deals were dropped, others canceled after they were finally convicted in 1951.) By its own admission, I.C.I, now controls almost...
...Concordat? Out of the Rome express at Paris' Gare de Lyon one drizzly morning fortnight ago stepped the Master General of the Dominican Order, the most Rev. Emanuel Suarez.

Du Mont's Paul Dixon strikes the folksy note by chewing gum, rubbing his nose and garbling his syntax. Bob Crosby is a hands-in-pockets man, but he also shoots his eyebrows, ducks his head winningly and rocks on heel and toe. His cast struggles to be homespun...
PRICE-cutting in synthetic fibers is turning into a full-fledged competitive war. For the second time within a month, Du Pont cut its prices 10% to 16% on nylon, Orion and Dacron, lowering them $1.48 to $1.80 a Ib. Chemstrand Corp., which makes Acrilan at $1.40 a Ib., will probably also cut prices to keep its competitive edge...
...sympathy for its victims, since they are just as larcenous at heart as the swindlers who fleece them. Martin Kane has changed its leading man four times (William Gargan, Lloyd Nolan, Lee Tracy, Mark Stevens)-oftener than it has changed its plot. Two crime shows, China Smith and Du Mont's Colonel Humphrey Flack are played for laughs, while two others, Foreign Intrigue and Orient Express, gain some freshness of face and background by being filmed and largely cast in Europe...
