When General Motors' Alfred P. Sloan Jr. created the $10.000,000 Alfred P. Sloan Foundation last year to disseminate "economic truths,'' cynics sneered that he was "incorporating General Motors' publicity department." His brother, Harold Sloan, made director of the foundation, proceeded to purify one of the ten millions by turning over its income to University of Chicago (TIME, Jan. 17).

Thousands of Sunday strollers cheered as the two seaplanes separated, took different courses. Said Pilot...
...chance came when Chicago's art-conscious celebrity-chaser. Mrs. Charles B. Goodspeed, steered him toward Yeast Tycoon Julius Fleischmann, who had cherished a secret passion to patronize the arts. Upshot was the organization of the World-Art group with backing ($500,000) by Fleischmann, Harold F. McCormick and other Midwest socialites.
