Ultra-tough, one-eyed General Jan Syrovy is the famed veteran hero of the Czechoslovak legions who stormed clear across Russia during the Russian Revolution, sailed from Vladivostok to rejoin their comrades in the homeland. It was smart for President Benes to give out last week that "yielding to fresh foreign pressure" he was unable to appoint as Premier General Syrovy, the people's choice, but had to choose instead a civilian, the Governor of Moravia, Jan Cerny- especially since it turned out a few hours later that redoubtable General Syrovy had actually been appointed Premier and had instantly...
Cobbler. Year that Harry Bridges entered the U. S., a Tsarist major general, Nicholas Theodore Bogomoletz, who had just distinguished himself on the German front, was put in charge of the armored trains of the White Russian armies operating in Southern Siberia. One night soldiers from General Bogomoletz' own train, drawn up at the station at Posolskaya, inexplicably opened fire on a detachment of U. S. expeditionary forces patrolling the line. Two U.

Result: Bogomoletz' and Anna's citizenship was revoked, and he was arrested for deportation...
...barriers of physical possibility, few aeronautical visionaries are prepared to admit the feasibility of a 900 m.p.h. airplane, 120 m.p.h. faster than the speed of sound, twice as fast as man has ever flown, nearly thrice as fast as man has traveled on land (see p. 47). But Russian-born Inventor Ivan Eremeef, Philadelphia protégé of Orchestra-man Leopold Stokowski, was last week tinkering with a model for just such a craft. Inventor Eremeef's wingless, finned, torpedo-like conception, carrying two small cannon and four hours' fuel supply, would zip 1,000 miles...
MURDER À LA STROGANOFF-Caryl Brahms & S. J. Simon-Crime Club ($2). Further bizarre caperings among the Russian troupe who survived A Bullet in the Ballet. While embellished by such trimmings as Wodehouse dialogue, the plot is sufficiently mystifying to satisfy addicts who like them straight...
