...Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (M.I.6) from 1939 to 1951; in London. Said to be a model for "M," the spy chief of James Bond novels, Menzies is conceded to have outwitted his Nazi counterparts-but not the Russians, who planted Turncoat Kim Philby in M.I.6's counter-intelligence section and compromised Britain's secrets until 1963, when Philby escaped to the Soviet Union...

Securities men, meanwhile, are hopeful that the brokers will eventually be able to obtain bank loans on the securities, even though the stock certificates that bankers ordinarily demand as collateral are held by the C.C.S. Instead of the stock itself, the banks would accept C.C.S.-issued "warehouse certificates." Until some such arrangement is worked out, however, the brokerage firms will simply have to withdraw some of their certificates to use as collateral...
