Wagner quit just in time to do his fellow Democrats the most good. Had he resigned after July 8, Governor Thomas E. Dewey could have appointed a Republican successor to serve until January 1951. Now, although Dewey may appoint someone to fill the post temporarily, a special fall election must be held to elect a Senator to fill out Wagner's term. New Yorkers were in for some hot, midsummer politicking. The Senator's unexciting son, Robert F. Wagner Jr., hinted that he would like the job. Tom Dewey said he didn't want it himself...

Along with many another prominent Oklahoman, Oil Millionaire Thomas Gilcrease takes quiet pride in having had an Indian grandmother. Last week he was honoring his heritage by giving fellow Tulsans a look at Indian history. The first public show of the six-year-old Thomas Gilcrease Foundation (in the township of Black Dog, on a hill overlooking Tulsa) consisted of 170 paintings of Indians and the West, including some by Frederic Remington, Robert Henri and the tireless 19th Century documentor of Indian life, George Catlin...
