...enthusiasts, eagerly sniffing the chill autumn air for snow last week, suddenly found a healthy January blizzard raging in their samovar. For Emile Allais, who last February at Chamonix won the International Ski Federation's World Championship by taking firsts in the slalom and downhill races, laid down a new and highly controversial rule for skiing.

In 1928 he married Polly Lauder, a Greenwich, Conn, steel heiress, took up Shakespeare, began making friends with businessmen and bankers. Soon he was a corporation director sitting on the boards of companies like New York Shipbuilding Corp. Last week he was elected director of another-Morris Plan Industrial Bank...
