...Leonard E. Mins thoughtfully provided newsmen with a typewritten translation of Latin quotations which he read to McCarthy from a black, loose-leaf notebook. Mins, described by McCarthy as a veteran Communist writer who had access to classified radar information in 1943, was asked if he had ever engaged in espionage for Russia. He answered: "Nemini delatorum fides abrogata."* Then he added wryly: "My answer also includes a citation from the Fifth Amendment." McCarthy, who knows a good performer when he sees one, was almost tolerant of Mins...
...Disabled American Veterans collected $21,480,000 over a period of three years with a series of splashy contests and a campaign to flood the mails with unsolicited trinkets. Out of this sum, the expenses of the fund-raisers amounted to $14,529,000, "administrative costs" ate up another $2,400,000, and $3,837,000 more went for D.A.V. lobbying. Not a cent went for the direct aid of a needy veteran. The D.A.V. does maintain 1,800 local chapters, which help veterans, for example, with their claims against the Government...

...subtle relationships among patients in a Swedish hospital, was the surprising work of Ilona Karmel, a Polish graduate of Nazi concentration camps who wrote an adopted English that was both expert and moving. The other was Helen Fowler's The Intruder, an Australian novel about a mind-sick veteran and the family of his dead buddy. Another notable first was Mr. Nicholas, a whiplash dissection of a tyrannical London father by young (27) Briton Thomas Hinde. Two others, slickly competent, successful and considerably overrated by reviewers, were John Phillins' The Second Happiest Day and Charles Flood...
...company expense. Starting salaries at this level are $80 to $90 a week, or just about what the beginning engineer can make. Requirements, however, are much stiffer, as the competition is better. Optimum requirements set by Curtiss-Wright: "must be 21 to 27 years of age, married, a veteran, must have majored in Commerce, Business Administration, Industrial Management, Industrial Engineering, or the Liberal Arts." The inclusion of liberal arts is the admission by most companies that specific training is not always the best qualification for a specific...
