No. 2 on Stalin's Baltic list is Latvia and this week its entire General Staff went down to the railway station in Riga to greet a Soviet Military Delegation which arrived to see about establishing Red Navy, Army and Air Force bases. Although these mean the rid of Latvian independence, the General Staff made the best of a sad occasion, banqueted their Soviet guests...
After the war, he rose in the Royal Air Force, married Olive Tennyson Foster, of Back Bay, Boston, and settled down to a life of thorough work and enthusiastic gardening.

His roustabouts wear natty, filling-station-style uniforms with cowboy hats...
Radio News, neither pulp, puff-sheet nor good red herring, is one of the Ziff-Davis group of magazines for mail-order scientists (Popular Aviation, Popular Photography, etc.). Managing Editor of Radio News is Karl Kopetzky, who prides himself on having learned journalism from Walter Winchell. During the early war days, Editor Kopetzky listened to Murrow in London, Grandin in Paris, Jordan in Berlin, etc., was struck with the costly time devoted by U. S. broadcasters to innocent prattle about London weather, etc. With the unfailing suspicion of a Winchell-bred newshawk, he dispatched an undercover...
