...Signal-Caller. But this is more than a big aircraft merger-it is the successful conclusion of one of the boldest financial plans since the merger-crazy '20s. The planner: resourceful Victor Emanuel, a fast-moving financial quarterback who bosses the rambling Aviation Corp. The plan: expand Aviation Corp. from an overweight aviation holding company into a General Motors...
Sibelius: 7th Symphony (N.Y. Philharmonic-Symphony, Sir Thomas Beecham conducting; Columbia; 6 sides). Between this and last month's 7th (by Vladimir Golschmann and the St. Louis Symphony, for Victor), Sibelius fans will find it hard to choose. Beecham's has slightly more vitality. Golschmann's version is better recorded...

Barbirolli's First is somewhat pedestrian, strongly rivaled by Ormandy's excellent Victor album...
Between Rouen and Le Havre the Seine becomes so broad that ferryboats take the place of bridges. Wending its serpentine way through the Norman greenery, the river flows past the village of Villequier, once the home of Victor Hugo, begins to turn salty near Quillebeuf, painted by the seascapist Boudin. The exhibition, with six splendid Boudins including a glimpse of the beach at Trouville, ends with Corot's serene view of seaside Honfleur...
