Professor Felix Frankfurter, recently returned from a year's professorship at Oxford, will make his first public address on Sunday evening at Ford Hall Forum. The subject of his address will be "An American's Observations in England and Palestine...
Fiddles & horns, conductors & opera stars last week entered the competition between General Motors and Henry Ford. Their start was simultaneous-Sunday 8 p. m. E. S. T. The Detroit Symphony fought for Ford, with Conductor Victor Kolar, yellow-haired Maria Jeritza. 24 choristers. G. M. assembled its own orchestra, hired spectacular Leopold Stokowski to wave his pale hands over it and Tenor Richard Crooks to sing. Soloists will vary in the expensive radio bout. G. M. has a starry list of conductors. Ford will stick to Victor Kolar, Ossip Gabrilowitsch's hard-working associate, who conducted at A Century...

Two baseball teams were playing each other last...

When Vice President Branch Rickey of the St. Louis Cardinals congratulated Dizzy Dean on winning the first game last week, Dizzy Dean wired a characteristic reply: "Many, many thanks. . . . Breezed through today with nothing but my glove. . . . Tell everybody hello. Henry Ford will be my guest in St. Louis. . . . Cook a good meal for all of us. Sandwiches and everything." Sportswriters, who gave the Deans their nicknames, were proud of their erratic heroes when Dizzy Dean broadcast a speech of his own composition which might have been invented by the late Ring Lardner...
