...behalf of the U. S. utility industry, Electric Bond & Share, largest utility holding company, last week presented a brief to the U. S. Supreme Court attacking the Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. On behalf of the U. S. Government, Messrs. Homer Cummings, Robert Jackson, Thomas Corcoran and Ben Cohen simultaneously filed a brief which asserted, among other things, that if Congress has the right to curb white slavery and bootleg liquor it "certainly is not without power to curb financial chicanery and abuses which have brought ruin to millions."

S. room at the Carnegie International, the more select and sparkling show of contemporary art at the Whitney Museum in November, and the even more select exhibition of "Paintings for Paris" which the Museum of Modern Art put on display during November and December-paintings by 36 U. S. artists chosen to be among those whose work the Museum plans to take to Paris this spring for the first big exhibition...
...revival will not take place," wrote Columnist Walter Lippmann last week in the New York Herald Tribune, "just because Mr. Krock of the New York Times is able to imply that Mr. Joseph Kennedy and Mr. Jesse Jones are seeing the President rather more often these days than Messrs. Corcoran and Cohen.'' What Mr. Lippmann apparently wanted the President to do and what the National Association of Manufacturers (see p. 11) certainly wanted him to do was to make unmistakably clear the New Deal's willingness, now and henceforth to cooperate with Business.
