Defeat for the Lizards. The most curious spectacle of the congress was portly, white-haired Arthur Deakin, anti-Communist president of the World Federation of Trade Unions, lambasting a Communist resolution in favor of the W.F.T.U. itself. Deakin's presidency represents British labor's hope of rescuing the W.F.T.U. from Red domination. That hope, Deakin roared, has gone glimmering. He said that the W.F.T.U. was becoming a tool of Soviet foreign policy. The congress boomed approval, the tick tack men flickered like lizards along the wall, and the Communist motion was defeated...

Last winter Congress passed a special bill granting Dr. Perl permanent residence in the U.S., on the urging of Representative Sol Bloom, who praised her "simple humanity" in saving "the lives of more than 3,000 women...
...battlefields (10,000 tons) arrived in New York City last week. Another 40,000 tons is expected by month's end. To keep the scrap away from speculators, the industry is forming a company to handle all German scrap. In another step to ease the critical shortage, 500 trade association executives will meet this week to launch a nationwide campaign to collect scrap from farms, plants and auto junkyards...
