...artistic par. This was all because, by last week, the Anderson Affair had become more a matter of politics than of Art or even of Race. After the D. A. R. kept Miss Anderson out of Constitution Hall and Eleanor Roosevelt quit the Daughters in protest (TIME, March 6, et seq.), a Marian Anderson Citizens' Committee went to work to rebuke Negrophobes. In so doing, it put on the spot many a politico to whom the U. S. Negro vote will be important...
Inability to get capital financing was one complaint that jelled last year at the Small Businessmen's Conference (TIME, Feb. 14, 1938, et seq.). Since then three bills have been introduced in Congress to improve credit lines to small business. Last week Acting SEC Chairman Jerome Frank announced that all three bills would be held in abeyance while SEC and the Junior Chamber of Commerce collaborated in a study of the problem...

Hogarth set the pace for English caricaturists in the 18th Century, and his followers, Rowlandson, Gillray, the Cruikshanks et al., set the pace for the French. In their work the age of the first three King Georges and the Regency appears unmatched in history for sheer beef-eating, blowzy, bullyragging license. Famous caricatures in the show included Isaac Cruikshank's credited Belly Piece Shop in which various court ladies of marked posterior inflation are being fitted to boot with anterior pads labeled one, two, four...
