Mayor Edward A. Crane '35 received a wire yesterday from New York Mayor Vincent Impellitteri which stated that if the General tours New England, "he will place Cambridge on his itinerary." Crane stated last night to the CRIMSON that MacArthur will visit Cambridge "on or before Commencement...

When France's President Vincent Auriol arrived at Penn Station last week, the Big City picked him up with a whoosh; he was dusted off by blasts from the police band, photographed, hustled into an automobile, delivered to the Waldorf-Astoria behind exactly 32 motorcycle cops, bowed into a suite, led out of it again, and then formally welcomed to the city at a three-hour banquet...

On his second sabbatical, in 1942, he picked a libretto that "wouldn't work" and "missed the boat." He wrote a Quintet and some songs instead. Last week audiences in Columbia's Brander Matthews Hall saw and heard what good, grey Douglas Moore, 57, had cooked up on his third...
