...action acknowledged that the straitened British would have to keep their reimposed exchange controls awhile. In an exchange of letters between London and Washington, Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Stafford Cripps promised to lift currency controls "at the earliest possible time." (Few observers expect this time to arrive in the next two years.) U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snyder told Sir Stafford that the $400 million would help Britain "to maintain its present austerity program...
Family Album. This week, Aranha was enjoying his pleasantly tumultuous home (Senhora Aranha never knows how many to expect to dinner) on one of the precipitous lavender hills of his favorite city. "Man did much for New York," he says, "God did much for Rio." He chattered with his two sons, Oswaldo Jr., 26, and Euclides, 27, and his daughter Delminda, 24. He dashed next door to see his 74-year-old mother, Doña Luiza, who bore 21 children and continues to advise the close-knit family brood on all matters public and private. On Saturday, Racing Enthusiast...
Some of the thousands had paid $30 for seats euphemistically marked "ringside." They didn't really expect to see a fight.

Fire Bug. A joint Government-industry committee put its finger on the cause of fires aboard two Douglas DC-6 planes, which had led U.S. airlines and Douglas Aircraft Co. to ground all DC-6s in service. As expected (TIME, Nov. 24), CAB decided that the gasoline tank vent forward of an air scoop permitted gasoline to be sucked into the heating system, where it ignited. Douglas plans to move the vent and make some other minor design changes, paying for them itself. The airlines do not expect to get the 92 grounded planes back into service until next month...
...clambake on Mount Washington. There is nothing wrong with the idea of a specialized number of a college magazine, but his one just doesn't have the material. Its core, two one-act plays, never rises above the mediocre, while good or even indifferent dramatic criticism, which one would expect to find here if nowhere else, has somehow escaped the minds of Signature's ambitious editors. There isn't any. Instead we have articles on the drama at Harvard, Radcliffe, and in England, all of which deal with peripheral problems of that field. Signature has a nice cover...
