What was going on at the Gens haberdashery shop? Every weekend for two years the Gens sons, Heinz, 26, and Josef, 23, carried construction materials into their shop near St. Severin's Gate in Cologne, Germany. Aided by friends, they carried out large quantities of earth. From the building came the sound of an internal-combustion engine. Exhaust vapor escaped through a pipe in the roof. Neighbors deduced that they were building a secret racing car; the Gens boys insisted that they were merely enlarging their basement. They were indeed digging-straight down.

After the crushing of Hungary's anti-Russian revolt eleven years ago, Josef Cardinal Mindszenty took refuge in the U.S. mission in Budapest, where he has lived ever since. Last week Budapest buzzed with rumors that Mindszenty, now 75, was about to abandon his self-chosen prison.

Though World War II is raging on two fronts, his little station in Czechoslovakia is more worried about its own private conflicts. The paunchy stationmaster constantly clashes with the raunchy dispatcher (Josef Somr), whose life is a round of love-making on the waiting-room sofa. Milos refuses to take sides in the quarrel, and soon earns the enmity of both antagonists. A stiff-necked German official gives him lectures on the nobility of war, which he fails to understand. A nubile girl, Jitka Bendova, entices him into her bed, where he fails to perform. Suicidally, he slashes his wrists...
