...rich undersea lands on its side of the Gulf. But there is no authority for such an interpretation of international law, which has always con sidered that the high seas belong to all nations in common. As far as precedent goes, there is nothing to prevent the Brit ish, for instance, from building an oil navy on the Clyde and sailing it down to drill for oil just outside Louisiana's three-mile limit...
...British consulate in Peking for a renewal of his passport so that he could cover the Geneva Far Eastern Conference (see FOREIGN NEWS), he was summarily turned down. The consulate informed him that he could only get a "traveler's permit" that would allow him to return to Brit ain, but no place else. It was the first such turndown for a Communist, although people such as Britain's Fascist Oswald Mosley have also been turned down. Winnington, a Communist Party member since 1934, thus faces the choice of staying behind the Iron Curtain or going back...
...getting cooperation from the U.S. and Britain, who after three years are now, for a change, working together.

Brit said he had parried a few Red attempts at indoctrination by asking a stream of diversionary questions. "I guess," he grinned, "they thought I was a real card." His bouncy demeanor...
Outside Carnegie Hall one night last week, 250 members of the Jewish War Veterans and 50 or so members of the Zionist youth organization Brit Trumpeldor paraded and protested the scheduled concert of Pianist Walter Gieseking. The demonstration bore a marked resemblance to the one of four years ago-which was part of the uproar that led to official questions about Gieseking's alleged Nazi sympathies, cancellation of the concert, Gieseking's decision to fly home to Germany rather than stay to face long, uncertain hearings (TIME, Feb. 7, 1949). But this time there were no official questions...
