...desk in the White House, the President will begin a slow trip westward to dedicate a new dynamo at Washington's Grand Coulee Dam. Officially, the trip will be billed as "nonpolitical," an ancient device whereby a President can pay his expenses from his $40,000-a-year travel allowance instead of from the party treasury.

...Blood. Unlike them, Abraham L. Pomerantz, Gubichev's lawyer, battled hard for his client.

...through his savings, but he had also developed a new electronic tube. For the next four years he fought over patents with Radio Corp. of America, in 1948 finally won all 40 claims in his patent application. Last week Willard Geer, now 47 and still a $4,500-a-year assistant professor at U.S.C., sold his tube* for a "substantial" sum to Hollywood's Technicolor...
