...Hara has some more tough stories in "Files On Parade" many of them good, although one can't help but feel that he is capable of better than he has been giving us. . . "Sailor off the Bremen," by Irwin Shaw, is a collection of twenty stories by a young writer who started with "Bury the Dead" and has continued to turn out work of startling excellence. . . Ludwig Bemelman's "Small Beer" has ten sketches, dealing chiefly with Germany and Austria, pre- and post-Hitler. Well illustrated by the author. . . . "The Web and the Rock" is almost exclusively for Thomas Wolfe...
Christopher Morley has again hit bestseller lists with "Kitty Foyle," a novel about a young lady in Philadelphia. It's off the beaten track of Morley novels, and therefore all the more welcome . . . Lloyd C. Douglas' "Dr. Hudson's Secret Journal" is another in the manner of "Green Light" and "White Banners." Others will presently be forthcoming, it is to be presumed . . .

It all hinges about Loretta Young, whose change from historic thrillers to modern nondescript is much for the worse. In this lovodrama, she has to choose between a boring suitor and a crafty magician. The snave charlatan, David Niven, offers here excitement and some other things, too. With him, she is whiled through a hectic Hollywoodian adventure; they cruise around the world, sometimes doing parlor tricks, sometimes performing feats of magic.

...eleven-man executive committee includes a non-Communistic president, only three members of the Young Communist League, and probably not more than two former Communist sympathizers; the Y.C.L., although voting as a bloc, failed to capture the Student Union. While they did well in the elections, the Communists took an apparent beating on the Russo-Finnish question, when their blanket support of the Soviet Union's foreign policy was snowed under by indignant liberals. The liberal majority proceeded to condemn both Russian aggression and the actions of those groups which hope to use Russia's actions as an excuse...
