Beethoven: Fidelio (Rose Bampton, Jan Peerce, Herbert Janssen; NBC Symphony conducted by Arturo Toscanini; Victor, 2 LPs). Beethoven's only opera, which he reworked, shaped and worried over until it was as lean and passionate as he could make it. Its story-of a devoted wife who rescues her husband from a vengeful tyrant-is projected with all the heat of Toscanini's conviction. It was recorded in 1944 from the earliest of the maestro's-famed operatic broadcasts, but the fine performers sound through the technical imperfections...

...Death. A search party clawed and hacked its way up the steepest side of Popo, found the injured youth and girl in the lean-to where the young climber had left them; they were carried back to safety.

On a platform in the center stood the reason for the tight security. There for inspection by Harlow H. ("Red") Curtice, president of General Motors Corp., was the topmost secret of the greatest...
Comedian Charlie Chaplin, looking much better fed than the lean tramp he used to be on the screen, emerged from his self-exile in the Swiss Alps, showed up in Paris waving a check for 2,000,000 francs ($5,700), part of the $14,000 prize which Multimillionaire Chaplin got last spring from the Red-sponsored World Peace Congress for his faithful party lining. He handed the check to France's famed priest Abbe Pierre (TIME, Feb. 15), a saintly man who has been virtually penniless ever since he gave away his sizable patrimony to charity 23 years...
