Closest check on the flow of U. S; money, blood stream of the nation's economy, is kept by the Federal Reserve Board, and it publishes weekly reports fully as baffling to the average citizen as a doctor's statistics on blood pressure. Last week the Federal Reserve Board reported an increase of $65,000,000 in the total of money in circulation ($6,394,000,000) whereas $24,000,000 is the regular rise for that time of the year...

S. in 1935 (TIME, Feb. 11, 1935), had become the rage of Manhattan's intellectuals. Lady Macbeth of Mzensk was withdrawn from Soviet theatres.* Composer Shostakovich's subsequent ballet, The Limpid Stream, was also withdrawn after a panning by Moscow critics, and his Fourth Symphony was suppressed without a performance. For two years Shostakovich was in the doghouse...
