...Budapest, Dr. Geza Szullo, onetime champion of Hungarian interests in Czecho-Slovakia, told the Upper Chamber of Parliament that German-protected Slovakia was systematically abusing its Magyar minority, that Slovak propaganda was "making attempts to spoil the harmony between Germany and Hungary." This made the Senators so angry that Foreign Minister Count Stephen Csáky had to reply with a speech that was scarcely less inflammatory. Said he: "Hungary may have to take risks for the protection of her national honor. The Hungarian Government . . . will act at the appropriate moment." Germany shipped tanks and supplies to eastern Slovakia, concentrated...
...would take more than this false-note ending to spoil a picture which has in its background Dennie Moore as a gossipy, husband-hunting, goo-goo-eyed mail-order clerk.

In the book the son dies by hanging, in the picture he dies a hero in World...
...make a living, how to redistribute wealth, how to make liquor bottles unrefillable. But what has mainly wrinkled his brow has been how to end war. Like a good inventor, he tried to solve his problem the easy way: a death-dealing explosive which would annihilate whole regiments, spoil everyone's stomach for further fighting. Last week little, stocky, 53-year-old Mr. Barlow traveled from his office in Baltimore, Md. to Washington, and bounded into a meeting of the Senate Military Affairs Committee. In a scarily matter-of-fact voice he revealed a formula for an explosive...
