...including famed Racer Hubert Scott-Paine). For the price of a 45,000-ton battleship, the U. S. Navy probably could build 750 mosquitoes, as an experiment plans to order four immediately. On the theory that the U. S. probably will never have to fight a naval war at home, Navy men in Washington last week still discounted the value of mosquitoes. But the idea of a little boat snapping at a big boat intrigues taxpayers and Congressmen. And in wartime, a healthy small-boat industry will be useful to the Navy...

An 8 p. m. curfew was clamped down; in many a Spanish home the knock of the secret police was momentarily expected and feared. Far from forgetting the Loyalist excesses of the last two-and-a-half years, Nationalist Spain was in a mood for wholesale reprisal and punishment. The new Government's authorities claimed that 250,000 of their sympathizers had been murdered by the Loyalists; they wanted "justice" in each...
