Among the other cartoons are two by Updike which are easily the best in this issue. Eric Wentworth's "Hometown Newspapers" is amazing because of the presence of a small thatched thing which defies description. It is perhaps the most ludicrous creature ever drawn...
...final story, "In the Cockpit" by Eric Wentworth, is a tale of the physical and emotional anguish encountered by a boy on a tuna fishing expedition. Wentworth has given his story a swift pace by emphasizing the boy's progressive exhaustion as he pulls a fish up from the sea. His passages on the boy's psychological reaction to his approaching failure often seem to break the continuity of the action unnecessarily and they add a pedestrian touch to the piece...

A Treasury Department brain-truster in 1933, he quit in protest against the New Deal's dollar-devaluation policies, wrote his widely quoted Recovery and Common Sense, advocating lower prices and free competition...

And what is there beside his stuff? The Wentworth piece, sure, probably the best he's done so far. Good sketch of an ill-clothed, ill-fed French family which waits months for a CARE package. When it comes, it's all American magazines. And Wes Johnson's idea about a holdup at the Cambridge Trust curb teller makes a good cartoon...
