When TIME reappeared on German newsstands two months ago after seven years' absence, Journalist Peter Weidenreich thought that the blow ought to be softened. A native Berliner who left Germany for the U.S. about the time Hitler's Wehrmacht moved into Austria, became a naturalized American citizen, served with SHAEF's Psychological Warfare Division (as radio commentator and editor of German-language newspapers) in the late war, Weidenreich figured that TIME would be a stiff jolt for Germans accustomed to the controlled misinformation of Herr Gocbbels' press.

...C.I.O. got the hardest blow to the mazard. At the big Tennessee Eastman Corporation the C.I.O. was out of the race altogether; there the run-off decision would be between no-union and the second-place A.F.L. At Carbide & Carbon and Monsanto Chemical, C.I.O. got snowed under by the A.F.L., but will have a second chance to fight it out again...
