Into a Manhattan public bath walked Dr. Herman Baruch, brother of Bernard Mannes Baruch. Then he walked out and told newshawks: "When I got away, I picked two cooties off my coat sleeves." In the next few weeks Brother Herman will inspect more public baths and swimming pools in Manhattan, draw up a report on them tor Brother Bernard. When he returns from taking his cure at Vichy, Brother Bernard in turn will report to Mayor LaGuardia on the need for more baths. Brother Herman explained: "I've been interested in public baths for many years because my father...
