...Straus opened what is now the U. S.'s No. 1 cigaret-paper mill in North Carolina with $2,000,000 put up by the big U. S. cigaret makers (TIME, April 8). Triumph of the mill was that it made cigaret paper from linseed-flax straw, hitherto a worthless byproduct. At present it is meeting a third of the Big Five cigaret makers' needs, will turn out sufficient paper for their entire output by the time reserve stocks are exhausted...
Musicraft, an outfit which hitherto specialized in high-brow discs, got into the chain-store trade by merest chance. Last summer Eli Oberstein's U. S. Record Corp. (TIME, Feb. 19) petitioned for reorganization. Its record-pressing plant, in Scranton, Pa., was owned by Scranton industrialists, who extricated it from the U. S. corporate setup.

James Stephenson, hitherto confined to furnishing British background, gives the part of the lawyer a distinguished, neatly devised piece of acting...

As much at home in palaces as clouds, Pan Am persuaded tough, handsome General Jorge Ubico, Guatemala's Dictator-President, to let it fly in his country, hitherto a TACA demesne. Pan Am immediately formed Aerovias de Guatemala, put big, heavyset, American-born Alfred Denby in charge. Fortune-hunter Denby owns Guatemala's biggest butcher shop, rates high with General Ubico. This month Aerovias, which has been conducting survey flights with sleek Pan Am Douglas DC25, will...
