...Cheers. In Olavarria, Argentina, after a cement factory's safety committee gave 2,000 workers a luncheon celebrating the end of a year without accidents, over 1,000 came down with food poisoning...
...real task of the London Conference, which has not yet concluded, is to set up an area of agreement from which further gains can be achieved. In this, at least, Stassen appears to have been successful. If he can cement the advances of this conference, the future of disarmament will have come several steps nearer realization...
...probably the oldest of the arts, but in the first half of the 20th century, sculptors have scooted off in more new directions than they ever dreamed of in all the centuries before.

Actually, there has been no reduction in the Soviet's armed forces...
