...conferring with Trotsky, and getting back to Russia without exciting the Ogpu's suspicion. This may seem possible if the thoroughness of Soviet, German and Norwegian secret police methods is not known, but in Moscow it was such an obvious cock-&-bull story that Prosecutor Vishinsky endeavored to draw out Piatakov into further and believable details, asking: "How was all this arranged?" Piatakov, voluble in his confession up to this point, gave the Prosecutor a reproachful glance, and lapsed into silence with a gesture of helplessness. Few minutes later, Prosecutor Vishinsky brought a minor prisoner to the rescue with...
Simplest way for John Doe to draw a will that will be admitted to probate is for him to call in two friends, tell them what he is doing, ask them to witness his signature to the following testament: "I give everything to my wife, Mary Doe, in the event of my death and appoint her my executrix." No such simple will was one which a Philadelphia lawyer named Solomon L. Fridenberg brought before Surrogate James A. Delehanty last week in Manhattan and asked him to interpret.

But the aptitude questions, ranging from multiplication tables to Catherine of Aragon's domestic life, by their very broadness have demonstrated their value as indicators of potential intellectual prowess...
Champagne Waltz (Paramount). The perennial and expensive effort to make a Grace Moore out of Gladys Swarthout seemed to have more logic some time ago when Miss Moore was a more important box-office draw. This version of the endeavor is a heavy-footed musical naively designed to combine the best features of jazz with those of the Viennese waltz. It concerns one Buzzy Bellew (Fred MacMurray), leader of a swing band which, reaching Vienna in a continental tour, ruins the business of the Franz & Elsa Strauss Waltz Palace. In the U. S. consulate, Elsa (Gladys Swarthout), who has gone...
