...Expressed dissatisfaction with U.S. shippers because, he said, they had transported only 4,767 qualified European immigrants to the U.S. by Oct. 21, and announced that four merchant ships would speed the movement. (Shipping authorities pointed out that Government records showed that over 20,000 immigrants had been transported, and that three of the four ships mentioned by the President had been carrying immigrants for months...
...last week that G.I.s and Army-employed civilians may marry German Fräuleins.

Enesco is now an honorary Rumanian deputy; Kodaly an honorary member of Hungary's Parliament...

It has flashes of fancy poesy ("poignant deep-green fields through which homesickness seems to bleed with a dark stain of greenish blood"), and a full share of the pedestrian details that pad out most travel books ("During the [week] days I went for three walks . . . once to the Cloisters of the Nikolaskirche, once to the Poppelsdorfer Schloss and once to the Beethovenhaus, which was closed"). It also has passages in which Poet Spender writes like a naive...
