...mustachioed virtuoso on the string bass that he met Natalya Konstantinovna. While sawing the thick strings of his groaning instrument at a Moscow concert, he noticed a girl in the front row, gazing at him in maidenly admiration. Koussevitzky's heart jumped, he sawed away more sweetly than ever. After the concert he searched for his admirer, but she had gone. For weeks romantic Koussevitzky was in a lovesick daze.

Last week Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. took its turn. The nation's No. 2 maker of electrical equipment* issued a simple folder breaking down operations for the nine years 1929-1937 into one-syllable categories. Total income was $1.261.313,000. Deducting sums "paid out for materials, supplies, fuels...
