...Marxist revolutionary murals on which Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros rode to fame has pretty well petered out today, but the art of easel painting is running full blast. A flourishing group of some 40 able painters, including Abstractionists Carlos Orozco Romero and Carlos Merida, splashily realistic Jesus Guerrero Galvan and Federico Cantu, are beginning to be known in the U. S. Among the new ones touted by Critic Helm are Antonio Ruiz, who paints street scenes in a Covarrubias-like style, and 21-year-old Guillermo Meza, who took up painting be cause he didn't have enough money...
...subversive activities in New York City schools (TIME, March 17 et ante). They had named as Communists 64 teachers and clerks in three municipal colleges-Brooklyn, City and Hunter. The catalogue of Red activities was almost mock-sinister. The comrades were pictured as taking party pseudonyms, reading and writing Marxist literature, meeting secretly in each other's homes, issuing anonymous and scurrilous throwaways, sneaking stickers on subway windows, holding secret union '"fraction" caucuses, pleading with witnesses not to expose them.

They waded through some 600 social science texts (90% of those used in U. S. high schools), excerpting passages to show the authors' views on 1) the U. S. form of government, 2) free business enterprise...
...presented, in their mutual oppositions, with considerable psychological skill. It all converges, in the long run, on sex for each. Elyot, a scholar, a "raker of dust, a rattler of bones," winds up in bed with an art-gallery Jewess as hard & cold as chromium. Eden, a sultry semi-Marxist, follows an abortion with a hot, sterile series of affairs, finds what she needs in a calm carpenter who dies for Loyalist Spain. As for their red-haired mother, Mrs. Standish, Nature "had her tiresome, if inevitable...
