Lasky encloses (present in BR's periodicals with a signed "with compliments" slip from Lasky, dated 15 Oct. 1948) the first issue of Der Monat with a reprint contribution from BR. He has heard from both Freda Utley and Sidney Hook about BR. Lasky wants to give a reception for BR when he visits Berlin and for that purpose has contacted "the British people here who are managing your trip".
