During the supposedly secret conference, Charlie Halleck and Indiana's Senator Homer Capehart bellowed their defiance across the table at Indiana's Republican State Chairman Robert Matthews and Governor Harold W. Handley, who is hungrily eying the U.S. Senate seat that William E. Jenner will put up for grabs next year. Roared Senator Capehart: "We're split right down the middle. All you do is beat the brains out of the Eisenhower Administration. All you do is assure the election of a Democratic President in 1960." To State Chairman Matthews, who all but read Eisenhower Republican Halleck...
...tribute, Bethlehem Steel made Grace honorary chairman, and abolished the post of chairman. Named chief executive was Grace's longtime (since 1945) second-in-command, President Arthur Bartlett Homer, 61, a precise and analytical Beth Steel veteran (since 1919) who bossed Bethlehem's World War II shipbuilding program.

The School of Mathematics is larger by about 75 members to 25 members partly because there are more funds available for mathematical study than for historical work and partly because the em- inence of the early mathematical faculty, which included the late Albert Einstein, gave the Institute a brilliant reputation...
...Edward G. Robinsons' collection last spring (the Knoedler show will include 40 of the Robinson paintings). But Niarchos did not attain his standing as a collector solely on the strength of the Hollywood actor's selections. He made his first modest purchase when he picked up Winslow Homer's A Voice from the Cliffs (which now hangs in his Manhattan penthouse office) and a Renoir landscape at a Parke-Bernet auction in Manhattan in 1949. His first major purchase was Renoir's The Two Sisters, for which he paid $53,200 at Paris' famed Cognacq...
