He called on Winston Churchill, made a little news by disclosing that Churchill...
...towns in Europe recalled the disastrous traditional enmity between France and Germany more strongly than the pleasant spa of Bad Kreuznach (pop. 33,000) in Rhineland-Palatinate.

"What," asked Tito, "is the harm in cooperation with Western countries? Are there only millionaires and rich people living in them? Are there not also farmers and workers? Why raise barriers, why seal oneself off from the British, the French, the Americans and the others? . . . We also cooperate with...
Steelie. A permanent steel sander was put on sale by the Buckbee Mears Co., St. Paul, as an improvement over sandpaper. Named Steelie, the new sander uses etched and hardened carbon-steel sheets in rough and smooth finishes for the abrasive. Since the sanding surface is an integral part of the steel, it wears longer than sandpaper or other sanders with affixed abrasives, can be cleaned with a stiff brush or solvent. Price...
