Economic Pincers. Russian trade treaties, like reparations, were instruments of extortion, and, in method, straight out of the Nazi mold, with which Molotov had more than a newspaper reader's acquaintance during the piping days of German-Russian war collaboration, 1939-41 (see cut). But the Soviet Union had also developed another kind of economic pincers-the so-called "joint company." The pattern was 50-50 ownership by the Soviet Union and the local government, 100% administration by Soviet-picked executives. The function of the joint companies was to keep goods flowing into Russia. Through the joint-stock company...

...judge didn't know it, but the infant whose name was in question, yowling upstairs, was to be a famous sculptor. The clenched red hands of young Daniel Chester French would one day mold Concord's familiar Minute Man, John Harvard at Cambridge, and the seated Lincoln for Washington's Lincoln Memorial.

Even if it had to be accepted, the British hoped there would be one strong mold to bind the pieces-the Indian Army (present strength: 400,000, with 9,000 Indian officers, 4,000 British officers).

But a purely Moslem army could not be expected to protect...
...Selman Abraham Waksman, 59, microbiologist of Rutgers and the New Jersey Agricultural Station. Dr. Waksman is certainly a leading U.S.-authority on antibiotics. His best-known discovery (1945) was streptomycin, the antibiotic which has shown most promise in the fight against tuberculosis. Early this year he persuaded his favorite mold (Actinomyces griseus) to produce another antibiotic (TIME, Feb. 10). The new one, "grisein," teams up efficiently with streptomycin (in the test tube) to fight a variety of stubborn bacteria...
