...What is an economic system for?" This question, says Stuart Chase in A New Deal, published last fortnight by Macmillan, was never put by the economic sages of the last century. A very literate economist himself, Mr. Chase answers the question simply and proposes changes which he believes will make the system function as it should. Whether the system is capitalism or socialism, he cares little. "The crux of the matter is, who receives the factory income? As the case now stands, it is a six-cornered fight between the landlord ... the bondholder . . . the stockholder ... the worker ... the management...
...founded at Hamilton in 1832, carried westward a year later to Miami University at Oxford, Ohio. Organizer of A. D. was a pious Hamilton student named Samuel Eells, preacher's son, who died at 32 after having been for three years a law-partner of Salmon Portland Chase, later a Lincolnian Supreme Court Justice. At Hamilton there is now a Samuel Eells Memorial Hall and at nearby Westmoreland, his birthplace, a memorial boulder. To these places last week went some 500 of the 10,997 living Alpha Delts, to celebrate the centenary of their fraternity's founding. They...
...York has three subway systems. Though I. R. T. is the largest, it is controlled by smaller Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corp. Chairman of both is grinning, square-jawed Gerhard Melvin Dahl, onetime director of Cleveland's traction properties, later a trouble-shooting vice president of Chase National Bank. Together the two lines daily hurtle 5,000,000 New Yorkers up & down their rocky island, under and over the East River to Brooklyn and the Harlem River to The Bronx. The city's third system is municipally owned. Though it carries no passengers yet, its empty trains have rumbled...

Week ago, as he was about to be released as cured, he attended an athletic meet in which only patients pronounced "cured" could participate. Diomede Petrillo, 15, picked up a javelin, hurled it wildly, hit Patient Chase in the neck, killed him. Informed that Chase had died, Diomede Petrillo became hysteric, delirious. Unable to make him understand that police absolved him, psychiatrists doubt that he will recover...
...white-haired dame with the patrician profile and shallow-crowned velvet hat "with feather fantasy caught under the nice brim ... for the 40's or 50's or 60's" was unmistakably Mrs. Edna Woolman Chase, gracious, able editrix-in-chief of the three Vogues published in Manhattan, London, Paris. The drowsy blonde in the broadcloth beret (for ladies "this side of thirty") at the opposite side of the group was surely Nancy Hale Hardin, author of The Young Die Good, staff member of Vogue for four years. At Mrs. Chase's left, representing "the stretch...
