...Hong Kong rumors centered around the head of a Chinese journalist named Tsao Chu-jen, who has a reputation for being both anti-Communist and anti-Kuomintang. Tsao had known many prominent Chinese on both sides before the Nationalists were driven from the mainland, had written a book about the generalissimo's eldest son, Chiang Ching-kuo. Believing that there was no future for an independent Formosa, and that the best thing for all Chinese was a negotiated settlement with the Communists, he got an encouraging go-ahead from Peking, then wrote to Chiang Ching-kuo, the generalissimo...
Translated Ideal. In his introduction to a new book about the commission-How to Get Better Schools by former LIFE Education Editor David B. Dreiman (Harper; $3.50)-Chairman Larsen, son of a Canadian journalist, explains exactly why he took on the job: "To me, as a first-generation American, the public schools literally translated into reality the American ideal of equality of opportunity . . . When I learned-a scant 30 years after graduating from high school-that the schools were in trouble, I felt that I must do what I could to help." As Larsen had already found out, the schools...
Blue-Eyed Giant. Sorge, under cover of being a Nazi journalist in Japan, operated a fabulously successful spy ring during more than seven critical years until his detection in 1941.

Methodist Minister Hutchinson (with a D.D. from both DePauw and Garrett Biblical Institute) joined the Century in 1924, after five years as editor of the China Christian Advocate in Shanghai, and ever since has been showing journalists what a minister can do in their field and ministers what a journalist can do in theirs. He has had his share of globetrotting; his reports on Europe and other matters in LIFE, the Saturday Review and other magazines made him known to many readers who never even see a copy of the Century. His crisp, forceful editorials, his continued analysis...
...inaccuracies in a series on his father begun (and abruptly dropped) by the Daily Mail (TIME, Dec. 12). Next to feel the sting was the Sunday Pictorial (circ. 5,466,255), whose blatant stories about a modern "virgin birth" created an uproar in the whole British press, until Journalist Churchill, under his frequent pen name, Pharos, in the weekly Spectator, exposed the fact that the hard-boiled Pic had been taken in by a prankster. Then Randolph needled the Kemsley Sunday Graphic for announcing, but never printing, a "revealing, exciting, touching" series called "Those Churchill Girls." The reason the series...
