...most British Socialists have never entirely believed that the Chinese Communists are real Communists; they regard them as the product of a genuine popular revolt against Chiang Kai-shek's government, and believe that much of Red China's hostility comes from the U.S. refusal to grant it recognition. At a press conference in Hong Kong, Attlee admitted that his "impressions" had not much changed. But the man who had said he knew eyewash when he saw it professed not to have been taken in: "We found, and expected to find, that China is being run by Communists...
...Ford Grant. Der Monat owes its prestige to the State Department's wise decision to give virtually a free hand to its New York-born editor, Melvin J. Lasky, 34. By filling the magazine with the work of the world's leading writers, he has convinced German readers that Der Monat is much more than a mere mouthpiece of U.S. policy. Last week Editor Lasky took the final step to establish the magazine's independence.

In 1951, under a $480,000 government grant (made possible by Marshall Plan aid), he started digging with a crew of 46 workmen, and soon found evidence to support his educated guess. Among his rich preliminary finds: a colored, life-size terra-cotta statue of a god, probably Zeus adorned with a thin, Dali-like mustache; a rare, ten-inch nude model...
...ward Mabie, the aramatic art department and University Theater started turning out such alumni as Playwright Tennessee Williams, Producer Richard (The Big Clock) Maibaum, Actor Macdonald Carey and Stage Designer Lemuel (Oklahoma!, Kiss Me, Kate) Ayers. Onto the prairie, meanwhile, came poets, novelists and painters (among them: Iowa-born Grant Wood). The university began a representative collection of modern American canvases, and its auditoriums began to echo with new music. Largely through the influence of Psychologist Carl Seashore, S.U.I, took on the arts wholesale, and with typical Midwestern hospitality proceeded to make them right at home...
