When TIME's International and Foreign News editor, Max Ways, returned to his post recently after a month's inspection of Europe (the Nürnberg Trials, Paris Peace Conference, Saxony elections, Berlin's Russian zone, etc.), he made his usual mental note to stay home for awhile. His log showed that in the last five years he had covered some 200,000 miles, mostly overseas, by air alone...
Whatever was in Old John's mind, he played his game with his usual matchless skill. From the Government viewpoint, the contract which Interior Secretary "Cap" Krug had signed with Lewis last spring, after a 59-day strike, seemed foolproof.

The story is told haltingly and with an overdose of sentiment, but Michael Redgrave does a fine acting job. The co-feature, Russia On Parade, is a one-hour bore about Russian "sports"-lovers...
