...Homer Martin severed his ties with C. I. O. and John L. Lewis four weeks ago (TIME, Feb. 6). Having had time to weigh the reaction among his rank & file, Rebel Martin last week professed to want only "an autonomous union" within C. I. O., where he is no longer wanted. Thus he apparently hoped to offset reports that he is thinking of lining up with A. F. of L.'s William Green, whom most autoworkers heartily distrust...

No foreign loans were on hand because, alone among English artists of the first rank, Blake could be represented completely by loans from U. S. collections.

Deftly, but unmistakably, he would caricature the well-known posturing of top-rank Nazis. Sometimes when he walked off the stage he mimicked gimpy Dr. Joseph Goebbels. For these offenses he has often been in the Nazi doghouse, once in a concentration camp. Last week the Nazi bigwigs finally caught on, and Propaganda Minister Goebbels expelled Actor Finck, a fellow vaudeville actor and a comedy team, "The Three Rulands," from the Reich's Culture Chamber as "desecrators...
