To replace William Leiserson on NMB, the President chose another man small in stature, large in repute: David John Lewis, the learned, lovable, little Maryland ex-Congressman who was used last year in a bitter and stupid effort to purge Senator Millard Tydings (TIME, Sept. 12, et seq.).* As a worthy favorite at 70, Davey Lewis was considered too old for arduous duty on NLRB, just right for the easier routine of a railway mediator...

This looked as though it might cause trouble and, according to an article in this week's Nation, was quietly squelched by its professed friends after Grover Whalen had promised it a site-an incident that aroused bitter resentment in many a Manhattan liberal. When the art world frothed because there was no art exhibit at the fair (the original argument was that all art shown would be a functional part of the exhibits), President Whalen gracefully gave in, arranged a substantial gallery. There have been complaints of discrimination...
