German, British and U. S. firms are currently engaged in an active struggle for U. S. sales of the best substitute for glass, in eyeglasses, binoculars, cameras and magnifying glasses, developed since Venetians invented spectacles in the 13th Century.

Author Jameson has shrewdly taken more than one leaf from recent history. To skeptical readers who might say, "It can't happen anywhere," she has only to point to Germany.

According to dispatches passed by the Soviet censor, "they died...
Germans could buy a queer book last week, the first Nazi Who's Who. Thumbing it through, they found bits of paper carefully pasted over the biographies of Storm Troop Commander Ernst Roehm and other prominent Nazis shot during the "blood purge.'' (TIME, July 9.) In a foreword the harassed Nazi editor explained "Political events necessitated many corrections in this volume, which already had been printed." To reassure prospective purchasers who might be afraid to buy a book containing traitors' names, no matter how carefully pasted over a line of heavy type on the title page...
