Editor Cagney, aroused by the brutal murders of his good friends Reporter Wallace Ford & wife (Rosemary De Camp), who first try to get the plan out of the country, beards such Black Dragons as Baron Tanaka (John Emery) and Colonel Tojo (Robert Armstrong) in their ultra-ceremonious dens. He gets framed by the Japanese police; makes the romantic acquaintance of a half-Chinese beauty (Sylvia Sidney) whose access to high places stirs his suspicions; unmasks the crookery of a fellow-journalist (Rhys Williams); helps drive Tanaka to harakiri. For comic relief he makes a monkey, again & again...

Mystical Movement. Of late, Prabhavananda's teaching has attracted enough expatriate English literary men to create a minor but noteworthy literary movement. Novelist Aldous Huxley, ultra-sophisticate of the 1920s, studied privately with the swami. His latest novel, Time Must Have a Stop, bears the marks of his study. Erudite Philosopher Gerald Heard (Pain, Sex and Time; The Ascent of Humanity), son of an Anglican churchman and a professed agnostic since youth, was another private pupil. Like slick Manhattan Dramatist John van Druten, (Voice of the Turtle, I Remember Mama), both contribute to the society's magazine Vedanta...

Waiting for Prime Minister Winston Churchill on his return from Moscow was a flare-up between the Conservative and Labor wings of his Coalition Government. Casus belli: Britain's planning bill for postwar housing (TIME, July 24).
