...according to Lindbergh, has been left without leadership and is now in a condition of chaos. It is hardly necessary to deny such an obvious lie. . . . Lindbergh performed such a nonstop flight into the realm of calumny and slanderous fabrications that he at once beat all the records of Baron Munchausen. . . . For a long time he has not made any aviation records and as a flier he does not represent anything worth while. . . . The few flights which he is now making in his little plane are now performed in this country by any member of the Aviation Club, any peasant...

...better comment on the crisis than any one else was because he also offered a better combination of talents. For one thing, he is German. His uncle, Lieut. General Hans von Kaltenborn-Stachen, was German War Minister for the years 1895-96. In Germany he himself is addressed as Baron.

Gallery of Herman Baron, patron of proletarians, an exhibition of work by eight young sculptors contained some of the best and some of the worst artistic efforts seen in that neighborhood in years. In the first category were Isamu Noguchi's Monument to Benjamin Franklin, gay, shiny and abstract suggestion of key, kite and lightning; Vladimir Yoffe's Design for Keystone, a powerfully carved hunk; and Milton Hebald's bronze Girl Walking (see cut), a 12-in. figure which almost anybody would like. Critics thought it a promising departure...
Some $75,000 of Baron Austin's money will go for modernizing the lecture halls. A big new laboratory for research on the atom-with library, conference room and tea room-will eat up $500,000. Another $50,000 went into a 36-ft. high-voltage atom-smasher. This hurls atomic bullets at controlled energies up to 2,000,000 electron-volts. Still another $30,000 was laid out for a cyclotron-an atom-smashing machine of the type invented by the University of California's Ernest Orlando Lawrence, which spirals atomic bullets up to huge speeds...
