Which town will get the county seat? Which city is the biggest, busiest and best? Rich and raucous is the American tradition of debate on such matters. It sounded a little odd last week in the oak-paneled, semi-ecclesiastical room of London's Church House, where world statesmen were considering where the world's capital-the permanent seat of UNO-should...
...most cosmopolitan and busiest Roman Catholic church in the U.S. is Manhattan's Church of St. Francis of Assisi. Unlike big, stylish St. Patrick Cathedral, St. Francis is small and sandwiched off among office buildings in a crowded section near Pennsylvania Station...
Ginza Goes. Actually Emperor Hirohito's property was only touched-this time. The Ginza, Tokyo's retail thoroughfare (once called "the busiest, noisiest, unhandsomest and most flamboyant of metropolitan streets"), was reported a mass of flames. Tokyo Week has cost the U.S. 31 Superfortresses or $18,600,000 in equipment and something for which there was no price-the lives of about 350 men.

Eddie Rickenbacker's Eastern Air Lines led the parade with a 150% increase in net profits: $446,091 v. $178.520 last year.

American Airlines, likewise bragging of its heaviest traffic ever, cashed in to the tune of $980,643 (v. $597,796). For many another company, the explanation of the golden showing was entirely different...
...busiest doctor in Chungking last week was Chang Chien-tsai, a spidery, parchment-skinned man of 64 who never studied anatomy, dissected a cadaver or saw a microbe. He is one of the 800,000 herb doctors who still provide most of China's medical care. (At the highest estimate, there are only 12,000 Western-trained physicians in China...
