In the same drab Budapest courtroom in which Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty was condemned, before the same Communist judge and prosecutor, Archbishop Joseph Grösz of Kalocsa last week went on trial for treason. Like Mindszenty, he "confessed."* Again the world saw the spectacle of a strong man broken and repeating in court what the Red scriptwriters dictated...
Bazooka Boom. Thus with no fanfare last week, the Ford Motor Co., which made airplane engines in World War II, took on the job of making Pratt & Whitney Wasp Majors for B-36s in Chicago's vast onetime Tucker plant. To boost GR-S synthetic rubber production up to a maximum of 760,000 tons a year, Goodyear and Goodrich rubber companies were asked by RFC to reopen the last two idle rubber plants.

Had he lived, Gruber might conceivably have come to paint a Crucifixion as great as Grünewald's. He never got beyond showing how pathetic a nude model and how forbidding a winter landscape can look...
Ivan refused. An editorial in Eva Peron's own evening Noticias Gráficas announced the inevitable decision: "The authorities who control education have taken no step whatsoever [to counter] the terrific insult . . . Those whose task it is to look after the national culture and pUrity of national virtues have failed...
