This test is to help TIME readers and their friends check their knowledge of current affairs. In recording answers, make no marks at all opposite questions. Use one of the answer sheets printed with the test: sheets for four persons are provided. After taking the test, check your replies against the correct answers printed on the last page of the test, entering the number of right answers as your score on the answer sheet.
The test is much more fun if you don't peek.
FIVE CHOICES
For each of the 105 test questions, five possible answers are given. You are to select the correct answer and put its number on the answer sheet next to the number of that question. Example:
0. Russia's boss is:
1. Kerensky.
2. Lenin.
3. Stalin.
4. Trotsky.
5. Stakhanov.
Stalin, of course, is the correct answer. Since this question is numbered 0, the number 3 -- standing for Stalin -- has been placed at the right of 0 on the answer sheet. Let us know how you did and what part was the toughest.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
1. The long and bitter MacArthur hearings ended with no formal committee report, merely a unanimous committee statement issued by Chairman Richard Russell declaring that: 1. MacArthur was right about the Korean war.
2. President Truman was right.
3. The hearings had actually been too short to gather sufficient evidence.
4. The U.S. would present a united front against any aggressor.
5. U. S. Far Eastern policy has been "inconsistent and wavering."
2. But eight Republican members of the committee issued a 5 2 -page report of their own, which among other things claimed :
1. Truman had no legal right to fire MacArthur.
2. The U.S. should declare war on the U.S.S.R. at once.
3. Senator Wayne Morse was no Republican.
4. The Administration's Far Eastern policy had been wrong.
5. The Wedemeyer report should have been suppressed.

2. Federal Security Administrator Oscar Ewing.
3. Secretary of State Dean Acheson.
4. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer.

2. With young children.
3. Even if they had been dishonorably discharged from the service.
4. If they could prove that their disability was incurred during the war.

1. Atomic bombs.
2. Hydrogen bombs.
3. Electronic equipment.
4. Manpower.

3. Fort Wayne, Ind. 5. Milwaukee, Wis. 14. In a calmer mood, President Truman reluctantly invoked the Taft-Hartley law to end the costly strike which had closed down the nation's: 1.Copper mines.
