Crisis-Proof? From Belgrade, Yugoslavia, the Chicago Daily News's famed Balkan newspundit, M. W. Fodor, who operated in Vienna before the Anschluss, last week flashed: "German planned economics is in essence a form of socialist production and distribution. Up until the recent downfall of Czechoslovakia, the conventional capitalist system of production and distribution was never really seriously challenged outside of Russia. Completion of a successful tour of the Balkans by Dr. Walther Funk . . . signals not only the fact that Germany has finally won the World War, but also that she has delivered the most serious blow the capitalist...
...released for transfer to the Paris I. N. S. office. The New York Times's, bureau chief, G. E. R. Gedye, who had spent 13 years in Vienna, was ordered to leave the country in three days. His expulsion was countermanded but he would not stay. Marcel W. Fodor, famed Manchester Guardian and Chicago Daily News correspondent who supplied John Gunther and Dorothy Thompson with much of their Hitler-baiting background, thought it best for his health to flee Austria.

The Barbarian (M e t r o-Goldwyn- Mayer) contains a personage whose type used to be almost as important in the cinema as the cowboy whom he helped to supplant. He is a sheik wearing a romantic turban, bedsheets and a polite but hungry...
...Church Mouse. Some doubt exists as to whether all Hungarian plays not written by Ferenc Molnar are originally dull, or if their dullness is due to the unerringly wooden touch of Frederick & Fanny Hatton who adapt most of them to the U. S. stage. Last month Laszlo Fodor's I Love an Actress was presented in Manhattan. Like an interesting photographic landscape, it had form and pattern but no color. Equally lifeless is A Church Mouse, another load of Fodor which relates the story of a drab little girl who has cunning enough to persuade a rich...
