These six young women, who have already learned how to cross their legs for U.S. photographers, call themselves Pestkas. Sent here by the Polish Government in Exile (loudly denounced by the Soviet Union as fascist), they have worked behind the lines with Polish troops in the Middle East. When they arrived in New York last week they headed straight for a coiffeur, then shopped for stockings, cosmetics, lingerie. Next stop: Buffalo's Polish colony...
...Compromise. Part, if not all, of Stalin's letter was presumably conveyed to the Polish Cabinet. Concerted attacks in Pravda, Izvestia, Red Star indicated its contents. Said Pravda: "The Polish emigre Government, having fascist politicians in its makeup ... is living in the phantom world of a Hitlerite mirage. ... It has completely cut itself off from the real Polish people." Obviously there had been no change in the Russian attitude that 1) it will not deal with the present Polish Government; 2) the Curzon Line in eastern Poland is an immutable demand...
Decision (by Edward Chodorov, produced by Edward Choate), if no great shakes as a play, is vigorous pamphleteering on a vital subject. Playwright Chodorov has highlighted the home-front struggle between the free-and the fascist-minded, pitting a fearless high-school principal against a viciously reactionary senator who has engineered a race riot in a war plant. Assailed, the senator strikes back, has the principal framed on a rape charge and then cleverly murdered-to give the impression that he hanged himself out of guilt. Thereafter Decision focuses on the principal's wounded-soldier son who had returned...
While fascism's beatings, blood lust and bombings have been getting the headlines, Economist John T. Flynn has been burrowing deep into pre-fascist history for the story behind the headlines. His findings, as set forth in As We Go Marching, are a model of pamphleteering clarity. For onetime America-Firster Flynn strikes a deadly parallel between what happened in Italy and Germany and what is now happening in the U.S., proving-to his own satisfaction, at least-that it can happen here...
...bring about a business upturn at the bottom of the cycle? To such a hypothetical question, Mr. Flynn would probably answer: Yes, the Swedes know how to spend on the downbeat and how to tax and pay off deadweight debt on the upbeat. But the U.S., like pre-fascist Italy and pre-Hitler Germany, seems bent on spending all the time. Mr. Flynn seems to imply that we just haven't got the brains of the Swedes...
