...reporters adjourned for an explanatory session with the State Department press chief, white-haired, closemouthed Mike McDermott. Search of the records finally produced four specific protests to the British Foreign Office, since last Oct. 1, concerning premature London reports of : 1) Secretary Hull's impending arrival in Moscow; 2) the Italian declaration of war against Germany; 3) signing of the third Lend-Lease agreement with Russia; 4) the Roosevelt-Churchill-Chiang conference at Cairo. A fifth had already been mentioned in the Times dispatch from London: a report that a U.S. plan for postwar Germany had been submitted...

Matthlessen's month-long search for a test case on the unofficial banning of the book "Strange Fruit" was climaxed Tuesday when Cambridge police confiscated a copy of the novel sold by Abraham Isenstadt of the University Law Book Exchange to Bernard De Voto, prominent American author...
Thrown upon the streets of Washington, they search desperately for a base of operations from which MacMurray can sally forth to negotiate for an important government priority.

Though seismograph crews have swarmed over the basin for eleven years, dynamiting and painstakingly recording the sound waves that came back to their earphones, its area and oil content are still unknown. Until the Cottingham came in on the east flank of the basin, Anadarko produced little but "dry hole money"-the cash that oil companies advance to an enterprising...
Like Columbus himself, Morison has made four voyages of discovery. In his relentless search for new material on the Admiral's voyages, Morison cruised the Caribbean by yawl (1936-1937): traced Columbus travels along the coast of Santo Domingo (1939); crossed the Atlantic from Palos, Portugal (1939) in an expedition consisting of a 147-foot schooner and a 47-foot ketch; and combed the coast of Cuba and the Bahamas (1940) in the ketch. The actual writing of "Admiral of the Ocean Sea" began at sea, off the Azores in 1939, and was published in 1941. Called "Columbus Junior...
