Formidable Mr. Dies further defined what he means by un-American activity last week. Up to then he had occupied himself principally with Communism, less frequently with U. S. Naziism & Fascism. In Manhattan to address the Associated Grocery Manufacturers of America, he broadened his distastes to include "people who were impressed with the necessity to remake society along socialistic lines." Said he to the grocery manufacturers, further defining his aims and his conception of acceptable Americans: ". . . The businessmen of this country must . . . say to the people of the country: 'We have a program, a program that is American...
...only are Rumania's immediate neighbors sources of apprehension. The Nazis still have their eyes on Rumania and, although Russia's swift move into southern Poland kept Germany from Rumania's boundary, less than two months ago Nazi agents in Rumania assassinated Premier Armand Calinescu and attempted a coup in Bucharest.

The big, swanky outdoor terrace of the Cercul Militar (Army Club), facing the Calea Victoriei, is filled nightly with resplendently uniformed officers and smartly turned-out women. Caviar, juicy steaks, pastries oozing with whipped cream-all verboten...
...delightfully refreshing Cinderella in modern dress, a sophisticated melodrama, and an Information Please short combine to form a strange but highly entertaining bill. Cinderella is Deanna Durbin, of course, in "First Love." She sings as well as ever; she looks as delicious as ever, but above all she is less noisy than before, which is certainly an asset. The picture, original in its angle, frankly follows along the lines of the Cinderella story even to the lost slipper. Only the coach and six is transformed into the Commissioner's car and a large escort of motorcycle police...
