...would say that a picture was "hot" or "terrific"' or that it "hits me hard." In gentler moments, the childless Dale referred to his paintings as "my children," and he once reported that "I look at my pictures every night before I go to bed." He was generous to Washington's National Gallery of Art, of which he became president in 1955, but he would watch carefully to see how a painting that he had lent was hung before he would make it a permanent gift. As the years advanced, one of the big questions for all major...
...Government says it needs both controls because smart farmers got around simple acreage controls by pouring on the fertilizer, producing more per acre, then selling it at the generous prices backed by the Government. That, as usual, cost the taxpayer a scandalous amount of money. Through controls on how many bushels a farmer can sell at top support levels, Freeman claims he can save some cash...
...Both sides have settled down to stubborn warfare that could, if sustained, kill off as many as three Manhattan dailies. One candidate for extinction is Dorothy Schiff's Post, a liberal afternoon tabloid with a tenuous lease on life. The Post, which has been replenished with periodic and generous transfusions from Dolly Schiff's personal fortune (she inherited $9 million), has served notice on the I.T.U. that it can survive neither a protracted strike nor a punitive contract. "I'm in a terrible position," said Mrs. Schiff last week. ''If I show too much weakness...
...Winner's Share. Today, with the TY money rolling in. the standing-room crowds when the team plays home games at Milwaukee's 45,000-seat County Stadium, and the Packers' share of the full house on their away games. Green Bay can afford to be generous with its champions. Packers' salaries are among the highest in the league: raw rookies get $8.000; half a dozen players are in the $20.000 bracket. And there is plenty of frosting on the cake. Last year's championship playoff was worth $5,500 to each...
...Isaac himself is a teetotaler and nonsmoker, who proudly insists that his personal expenses are covered by a shilling (14?) a day. He is more generous with others. His Isaac Wolfson Foundation, set up in 1955 with $17 million in G.U.S. stock, has donated more than $12 million to worthy causes; for his charities he was made a baronet early this year. Though most of his gifts go to British hospitals and universities, Sir Isaac also belongs to a remarkable club of 26 Britons, each of whom has contributed at least $1,000,000 to Israel's Weizmann Institute...
