Truly typical of Soviet music was Mossolow's Soviet Iron Foundry which Stokowski played early in the season (TIME, Nov. 2). Soviet Iron Foundry perfectly describes a mass of noisy machines. Most Russians prefer Tchaikovsky or Beethoven to the kind of din they hear all day at their work. But the Government encourages music which publicizes the new regime. It frowns on any music that is languorous or melancholy. For this reason gypsy music, so popular before the Revolution, is generally tabooed.

Kreuger & Toll has many activities in addition to control of the match companies. It handles much of the financing the monopolies make necessary. It has a 20% interest in the Grangesberg Co. of Sweden, biggest iron producer in Europe, and an 80% interest in the Boliden gold mine in northern Sweden, thought to be the richest in the world.

Obviously heir to Iron McNamara, Georgetti was once pierced by an eight-inch splinter which he sent to his father to be exhibited. He earns $28,000 per year, has a barber shave him every day of the race, frequently dines on rice, lobster and beer with Tenor Beniamino Gigli of the Metropolitan Opera Company...
