...precision done with ease. Ritchard, who looks as if he's been watching Rex Harrison, clearly had the part written for him and does it with a blinding polish. Miss Skinner is funny and of course an accomplished actress, but she's still much better on her own. Walter Abel acts suitably imposed upon as Ritchard's host. Charlie Ruggles makes an interesting character out of the dull role of Miss Skinner's father. The two young people, Dolores Hart and George Peppard, look pretty green next to first-rate comedy people; the girl is particularly stiff, but they...
Junketeer. In Lille, France, Abel Pauchet, 36, a part-time scrap-metal collector, was held by police for cutting a 15-ft. section out of the Lille-Tourcoing telephone cable...
Sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment, plus $3,000 in fines, by a federal court in New York City: stony-faced Colonel Rudolf Ivanovich Abel, 55, who, posing as an artist, served for nine years as one of the top Red spies in the U.S., until federal agents searched his Brooklyn studio and found an array of such spy-novel devices as hollowed-out coins and cuff1 links (TIME, Aug. 19 et seg.).

According to his story, Moscow ordered Abel and Hayhanen to give $5,000 to the wife of convicted Atom Spy Morton Sobell, serving a 30-year term in Alcatraz. Finding Helen Sobell's Manhattan apartment well guarded by police, they buried the money 45 miles away in a state park. Hayhanen later reported to Moscow that he had actually delivered the money to Mrs. Sobell. Moscow sent another $5,000 for Mrs. Sobell, and suggested that she be recruited for spying. Abel banked this $5,000. Hayhanen then...
Quebec's Garage. Hayhanen's testimony brought not a flicker of reaction from impassive Spymaster Abel. Government lawyers hinted that even more damning evidence would be forthcoming. One agent whom Hayhanen had been told to contact was code-named "Quebec." He was, in fact, U.S. Army Sergeant Roy Rhodes, who had once worked in the garage of the U.S. embassy in Moscow, and, according to a message from Moscow, had been recruited "on the basis of compromising materials." Try as he could, Hayhanen could never locate Roy Rhodes. But U.S. authorities found him. He was scheduled to take...
