...Studio 8-H. A crowd of 5,000 was at the station when the troupe arrived, but Charlie was nowhere to be seen. Photographers grouped Master of Ceremonies Don Ameche, darkling Sarongstress Dorothy Lamour and Baritone Donald Dickson for a picture. As they were sighting the group, a pressagent brought another man over, a middling, fair, baldish chap with delicate, expressive lips. For one photographer up front, this man crowded the picture, blocked the view of the lissome Lamour. "Hey," he growled, "get that lug out of there...
There are so many ways in which a Torah may be befouled, especially by goyim (gentiles), that few in the synagogues of Germany escaped desecration during the destruction last November. One of the few was in Manhattan last week, brought there by a refugee chemist named Heinrich Goldschmiedt, who salvaged it from Vienna's oldest synagogue before that edifice, like the others, was fired. The Vienna Jewish community instructed Chemist Goldschmiedt to present the Torah to an orthodox synagogue in the U. S. Without such instruction, the Torah would have been considered stolen property by good Jews. Mr. Goldschmiedt...

Last week, still fecund at 87, this corporate oldster proudly brought forth an offspring: a new car, the Studebaker Champion, frankly designed to compete with Ford, Chevrolet and Plymouth in the low-price field. Other makers have tried for ten years to crash this field without success, and Studebaker itself has had two previous cracks at it with the Erskine and the Rockne...
Nothing slows up a champion like excess weight; nothing eats up gas like a heavy car. The Studebaker Champion has been trained down by smart engineering until it weighs 500 Ib. less than its rivals. Studebaker swears this has brought no structural weakness, no less safety. Most of the weight was saved in the engine and frame assembly, little taken from the body, in order to avoid the charge of being "tinny." Design is conservative-little chromium, headlights in fenders, no running boards. It has gearshift on the steering post, many standard Studebaker features such as hill-holder, rotary door...
