...last month, as the new super-ballet was preparing for a somewhat delayed London opening, it leaked out that the constellations of Universal's new universe had collided. De Basil, who had not personally signed any agreement with Universal, denied flatly that any merger had taken place, claimed that he could not speak English and had not understood the terms of Universal's proposal. Universal Art promptly sued de Basil, only to find, in court, that de Basil no longer owned the scenery and production rights of the de Basil Ballet, but had sold them...
...Modern Dance. In the sprawling white farm buildings which house Vermont's youngest and most experimental college, some 150 acolytes, many of them heads of dance departments in other colleges, leaped and squatted with ardor, preparing for big stage events with which the Festival wall close next month.

Last January a Northwest Airlines Lockheed Zephyr shook off part of its tail structure, plummeted into Bridger Canyon, bringing ten persons to death. Last month the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific's Olympian dived through a trestle into Custer Creek during a cloudburst, killing and drowning 47. Following week the Olympian ran through orders near Roundup, hit a trainload of CCC boys head on, killed one. Then, one morning last week, disaster struck...
First section of FTC's report on farm equipment went to Congress month ago (TIME, June 13), pointed out that eight companies dominate the field but that two are pre-eminent-International Harvester Co. and Deere & Co. Part II which went to Congress last week pointed out how these companies came to control a large portion of the market by buying up competitors, listed the following factors as "indicating serious monopolistic conditions": 1) dominant position of International Harvester; 2) big advance in farm-equipment prices as compared with other manufactured products; 3) price rigidity in farm equipment during Depression...
