...Lewis' dinner was ruined by baldish Morris Watson, vice president of C. I. O.'s American Newspaper Guild. He introduced, and the convention passed, a resolution denouncing "the press generally, and certain newspapers especially," for their coverage of the convention. This put the blame not on the publishers but on the reporters present˜some of them Mr. Watson's own union constituents. It accused them of trying to reate dissension in C. I. O. by reporting its own unmistakable dissensions at the Convention...
...Anatol Shulkin, a pale, round-faced, baldish little professional known principally for his murals, had an exhibition of easel work at the Midtown Galleries just two years later than it had been scheduled. Reason: two summers ago his summer place in New Jersey burned to the ground and ten years' work burned with it. The Shulkin mettle was proved in several smooth, strong, pleasant figure compositions notable for harmonizing brilliant colors without making them yell...
Author of a Communist tract called The Coming Struggle for Power, baldish, fattish, 37-year-old British Evelyn John St. Loe Strachey says he is no Communist. Having barely escaped deportation proceedings during a U.S. lecture tour in 1935, young Mr. Strachey this year set out on another with the proofs of a new book, Hope in America, under his arm.

...last week twelve people sat in a small office in the National Broadcasting Co. building and witnessed the first television book review in the U. S. The book was Sidney A. Spencer's The Greatest Show on Earth, a collection of photographs illustrating economic laws; the reviewer was baldish, bearded Critic Ernest Boyd. In a milky, translucent square of light in the television receiving apparatus, the audience could make out the figure of Critic Boyd, his features hidden in shadows, as he faced some indistinguishable framed object on the studio wall and began his review by exclaiming nervously...
...Baldish, 33-year-old Harry Cooper has a past-performance chart that dates back to 1927. That was the year he lost the U. S. Open championship to one-eyed Tommy Armour by the slim margin of a 15-ft. putt. For the past five years he has maintained a scoring average that no U. S. pro could equal: he has never finished lower than fourth in annual scoring. Last year his form sheet* revealed that his 1937 average-in 82 rounds of competition-was 71.62 strokes per round (better than even fours, which is considered perfect golf), that...
