Thus Manhattan learned of the fourth and least utilitarian of the great Guggenheim foundations.* Announcement of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation came from the donor's lawyers. Old Mr. Guggenheim was in Europe for consultations with Baroness Hilla Rebay von Ehrenwiesen, who helped him make his collection of pure "nonobjective" paintings, lately shown in Philadelphia (TIME, Feb. 15). Now housed partly in the Guggenheim house at Port Washington, N. Y.. partly in Mr. Guggenheim's apartment at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, the collection will be the nucleus for a museum of abstract art of which...
...Cramm had more trouble in his early matches, beating Australia's Jack Crawford in five sets and then playing a red-hot semi-final against England's Henry Wilfred ("Bunny") Austin in which Austin won the third set 14-12 before losing the match in the fourth. The final between Budge and von Cramm was interrupted once. That was when Queen Mary arrived at her box just after the first set. Two years ago, Budge amused Wimbledon by greeting the Queen with a wave of his racket. Last week, more formal, he bowed from the waist. Before...
Taking advantage of the fact that the Fourth of July makes the 129,000,000 inhabitants of the U. S. accident-conscious, the National Safety Council picked last week to publish the grim records of last year's accidents.

Other losses and expenses increased this...
Daphnia, a one-fourth inch relative of lobsters and crabs, can live in ten drops of water. It is small enough for its whole body to be studied through a microscope and transparent enough to be projected upon a magic lantern screen (see cut, p. 32). These qualities make Daphnia a fine biological subject on which to test drugs, Professor Viehoever recently realized. For Professor Viehoever, Daphnia solved an important strychnine puzzle, he enthusiastically told the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Denver this week. This bitter, crystalline product of nux vomica is used as a tonic, stimulant...
Last fortnight in St. Louis, at its fourth & largest annual convention, the American Newspaper Guild not only switched affiliation from the American Federation of Labor to the militant Committee for Industrial Organization, but served notice that it was out for industrial bear by voting 118 ½-to-18 ½ for industrial unionization- which would mean eventual Guild membership for every last copy boy, circulation solicitor and advertising stenographer in a newspaper plant (TIME, June 21). Hardly had word of this bold decision dried on the front pages of the nation's press than the publishers answered the challenge. Goaded...
