...Europe, with a constitution based on the principles of common citizenship, political freedom, and representative government; including a charter of human rights. Such a federation should have defined powers with respect to such matters as external affairs, defense, currency, customs; and the planning of production, trade, power and transport. To achieve this objective, the governments of the states of Western Europe should take steps to convene, as soon as practicable, a constituent assembly composed of representatives chosen by the parliaments of the participating states, to frame a constitution for such a federation...
John Moore's studies of men and manners in the Cotswolds, as presented in Brensham Village and its predecessor The Fair Field (TIME, Dec. 9, 1946), will do for the U.S. reader what Hollywood did for Lord Orris-transport him into an overseas dreamland whose main charm is its remoteness from everyday life. Just as the romantic "reporting" of H. L.

On the upper deck of the double-decked fuselage (see cut), the plane will carry 92 passengers. On the lower deck, connected by a circular staircase, it can carry another 76 passengers. Though the Constitution was built expressly for the Navy (which has another one on order), Lockheed has high hopes for it as a commercial plane. At nearly the same cruising speed (300 m.p.h.) as the Constellation...
...mile trip back from Greenwich Island and Graham Land was; rough and uncomfortable. Polar gales churned the iceberg-haunted seas until the transport Presidente Pinto ran for shelter among the rainswept islands north of Cape Horn. But Chile's far-faring President Gabriel González Videla was in high spirits. His voyage to nail down Chilean Claims to Antarctic territories also claimed by the British had made him the most popular man in his country...
