Tchaikovsky's sombre Romeo & Juliet Overture usually takes 16 min., or four or five sides of phonograph records, to present the strife between Montagues & Capulets, the love between their offspring, the appearance of Friar Laurence, the death of the lovers. By cutting whole pages of repetition and development, Conductor Kostelanetz will give casual listeners this week a pretty good idea what Tchaikovsky was driving at in only 285 sec. flat. Likewise the overture to The Barber of Seville will be reduced from 7 min. to 1½ min. and the late George Gershwin's 16-min. American...

I cannot withhold my protest until the streets of Southern towns and cities are stained with the blood of innocent people...
...before Mr. Sloan released his tract, another report from another freshman in modern labor relations-U. S. Steel Corp. -published June quarter earnings. Without strife or struggle Big Steel came to terms with John L. Lewis late last winter, and if it had any complaints on the subsequent behavior of the steel union, it kept them strictly to itself. While "Little Steel" was fighting Labor on a dozen bloody fronts, Big Steel piled up the biggest first-half profit in seven years-$64,000,000, quadruple the figure for the same period of 1936.
