...LIFE photographer-reporter team of Jack Birns and Roy Rowan, who had scored a beat with their eyewitness report of Mukden's last hours, were in Shanghai. The General agreed to a next morning departure. Birns and Rowan boarded a civilian cargo plane at Shanghai, but a ground haze delayed the landing at Nanking until 10 a.m., almost three hours after General Chou's transport plane was to leave for the Suchow battlefront. Gruin spent the interval conning the Chinese airmen into waiting for the overdue plane. At length, the TIME-LIFE team got off for Suchow...
Plans for a Study. Despite its crystal days & nights, Beirut was not entirely free of haze last week. On the southern outskirts of the city, past Parliament Square, where a bemused policeman stood directing traffic with one hand and counting his beads with the other, delegates from 44 countries were gathered for the third annual conference of UNESCO (the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Their purpose was to remove all global misunderstandings...
...first time since 1941 everybody was happy. The team was happy, the coaches were content, everybody else was lost for three days in a pleasant haze. Yale showed the same plays and the same backs that had been invincible for two years--and lost. Crimson runners broke away for long runs, linemen blocked like tigers, and the team came from behind in the last period to win going away...
...Pennsylvania's Monongahela Valley one day last week, blurred the bleak outlines of steel mills and foundries, and softened the glare of great furnaces. At sooty Donora (pop. 13,500), it was particularly heavy; the hills stand close and no breath of breeze had reached its streets. The haze thickened as locomotives and the high stacks of U.S. Steel's huge Donora Zinc Works sent fumes into the still air. But nobody paid much attention to the smoke-laden mist. The zinc plant had been operating for more than 30 years and Donora has often...
...Island with You (MGM) is a harmless little hot-weather cooler, filmed in a watery Technicolor haze. Sarongs are worn by the girls (Esther Williams, Cyd Charisse) and summer whites by the men (Peter Lawford, Jimmy Durante). The story, all about the warmed-over infatuation of a Navy pilot for a movie star he met on a U.S.O. tour, was also meant to be air-conditioned, but it gets a bit humid. Swimmer Williams should not have been asked to impersonate a film actress, but in her aqua-ballets and posturings in a bathing suit, she is a fine sight...
