Moscow's New. Times published a twist on the World War III issue of Collier's magazine (TIME, Oct. 29) and put out its own dream issue. Its theme: what would happen if the great powers signed a peace pact. Highlight was an article by U.S. Communist Author Howard (Citizen Tom Paine) Fast. Said Fast: "It is suspected that a sharp fall of shares [after the pact] was not entirely accidental, and in two of the most conscienceless New York newspapers there was provocation for a Fascist coup . . . Prices fell . . ." But after the great day, Novelist Fast...
...highlight of the concert, and one of the highlights of the whole season, was luminous performance of excerpts from the Messiah. Russell Stanger, who continues to gain poise and authority on the podium, did a masterful job of keeping everyone in line. The orchestra, despite the absence of several of its best players, sounded much better than last time. Part of the success must go to concert-master Paul Revitt 1G, who worked hard and kept the whole violin section in line...

The contributors included Edna Ferber, Louis Untermeyer, and the playwriting team of Howard Lindsay and Russel Grouse who sounded the keynote of the celebration...
After running through two chamber sonatas, the first notable for its sprightly allegros and the second for the beautiful canon in the third movement, the group concluded its program with another triple concerto. Played by three harpsichords (one large and two small) and strings, it was the highlight of the evening. Because of the nearly perfect blending of timbre among the instruments, this is one work which is virtually untranscribable for any other combination. Daniel Pinkham, Harvard's only representative in the group, is a very fine harpsichordist, but unfortunately he was drowned out by Bodky's overly percussive playing...
