...things did not go off as planned. As chairman of the Conference the New Deal imported an engineer from Palo Alto, Professor Emeritus William Frederick Durand of Stanford University. That famed expert in aerodynamics made a brilliant beginning by addressing the guests, without the aid of any translators, in English, French, German and Spanish, all of which he speaks fluently. This tour de force was enjoyed by the 650 foreign delegates who showed up.

Last week was a big week for French Impressionists in Manhattan art galleries. From their capacious cellars, the firm of Durand-Ruel pulled out 13 pictures by Claude Monet to make a show that was not only a résumé of the development of that Frenchman's own style but also a history of Impressionism.
