...encouraging pan-Slav propaganda and promoting other Soviet aims in the Iron Curtain countries. But elsewhere Alexei is not having much luck. Most Orthodox clergy are nonpolitical, like Tokyo's new Bishop Benjamin, of whom TIME Correspondent Carl Mydans cabled last week: "He is a simple, soft-spoken man who constantly rambled into a report of his sewing school, showing little interest in the ado over his bishopric...
...modest, sometimes wan little book, The Long Wing is unlikely to cause much ruckus in the lending libraries, but it is as able a first novel as the season has shown thus far. Author Elizabeth Fenwick, a slim, soft-spoken girl of 26, was born in St. Louis; her marriage in 1941 to a French instructor at Cornell barely outlasted the war.

...voice was familiar but the words sounded strange. Planemaker Donald Douglas, who has often spoken like a prophet of gloom, was making noises like an optimist. Said he last week: "Long-range prospects in the airline and aircraft manufacturing industries are excellent." Looking at his own business, Donald Douglas had reason to be cheerful. His Douglas Aircraft Co., Inc. had abandoned its plans to build the DC-7 Globemaster and the DC-8 Mixmaster. But it had started delivering its 52-passenger, four-motored DC-6, had orders for some $200 million worth of commercial and military planes...
