...spite of the scandals kicked up by Atomic Scientists Alan Nunn May and Bruno Pontecorvo, and by Diplomats Donald MacLean and Guy Burgess, most Britons still find it hard to take their home-grown Communists seriously. Party membership is down to fewer than 30,000 and falling; the Communists lost their only two Members of Parliament in the general elections of 1950. One reason for this state of affairs is that the Communists themselves have shifted from electioneering to getting a hold on industry. Last week Britain was learning what Communists could do when they had firm control...

They may or may not have been virgins, says Dr. Kunkel. but "the skulls and bones are of such fine structure and regular proportions that they must have belonged to girls who, even today, would be considered beautiful...
Mozart: Symphony No. 40 in G Minor (New York Philharmonic-Symphony conducted by Bruno Walter; Columbia). A majestic reading whose importance is somewhat dimmed by the fact that it is the 15th LP of this famed work. Columbia's reason: Walter's 77th anniversary year. Other Walter anniversary recordings: Mozart Arias (2 LPs), sung by Eleanor Steber and George London...
