...enslaved by the Red army in 1940, lost, and recaptured in 1944; 2) the Moldavian Soviet Republic, part of which was snatched from Rumania; 3) the Caucasian Mountain Republic of Armenia; 4) Azerbaijan, which hugs the Caspian Sea near the northern border of Iran. In all four "republics" the pattern was the same; a drastic tightening up of Soviet internal security, evidence perhaps that the death of Stalin encouraged the suppressed nationalities of the Soviet Union to hope for more freedom...
...Decca system uses "master" and "slave stations", which set up a wide-spreading pattern of intersecting waves (see diagram). The pilot pushes a few buttons that activate needles on three dials. Then, by means of other simple controls, he transfers the readings of the hands to a pointer that touches a special chart. Thereafter he need do nothing. The chart and pointer move automatically. By looking at the pointer, he can tell exactly where he is above the terrain represented by the chart. The pointer also traces a line telling where he has been...
...same pattern held true in many other industries. In aluminum, Alcoa's $13,300,000 profit was a 13% gain, but fast-expanding Reynolds Metals' $7,000,000 was a 111% gain. Neither the biggest steel nor the biggest auto companies have yet reported, but in both industries smaller companies showed big gains. Specialty-steelmaker Allegheny Ludlum had a 44% increase (to $2,000,000), and Sharon Steel's $2,000,000 was a 49% gain. (But middle-sized Armco showed a 3% drop.) In autos, Packard was way ahead of last year (see below), and Nash...

...Hugo Sperrle, 68, German field marshal who directed the 1940 aerial blitz of London; in Munich. Massive, monocled and elaborately uniformed, Sperrle flashed almost as many medals as his boss Reich Marshal Hermann Goring. He helped organize the Luftwaffe, probably did as much as any man in setting the pattern for aerial combat in World War II. Judged not guilty of war crimes and "non-concerned" about Naziism, he lived out his days quietly in Landsberg...
