A slavish imitation of the current Hollywood musical comedy formula, Gangway sometimes comes close to clicking, gives one more indication that British cinema can as yet boast few native screen writers within trailing distance of Hollywood's best, but that British producers are still trying to pick up the trail...

Snow static was supposed to be caused by impact on the antenna of droplets containing tiny electric charges. United last week announced that it is caused by discharge from trailing edges of electricity gathered while flying through heavily charged clouds. When sufficiently severe, snow static affected the shielded loop, heretofore the best-known remedy (TIME, Jan. 25), as much as any antenna. The remedy worked out by United is to trail from the tail 50-, ft. of insulated wire, an electric...
