Died. Rollie B. Hall, 86, who with his brothers Joyce and William founded Hallmark Cards, Inc., biggest manufacturer of greeting cards; in Kansas City, Mo. Rollie was the salesman of the team that started printing postcards with a $474 investment in 1907, then, by dreaming up greetings or condolences for every occasion, grew into a firm that now produces more than 7,000,000 cards a day, with an estimated annual sale of $200 million. Died. Edward R. Burke, 87, Democratic Senator from Nebraska from 1935-41, who started as a New Dealer, but soon opposed F.D.R.'s attempts...
Although this is his first appearance as a TIME cover artist, Wheeler, 33, considers himself an alumnus of Time Inc. Not long after he graduated from Brooklyn's Pratt Institute, he went to work for LIFE. While there, he designed the series of advertisements that showed the LIFE logotype cutout of a long catalogue of items: IBM cards, theater tickets, miniature flags. Those Wheeler cutouts are now in the collections of Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum...
Perhaps to provide a better "text" about himself, but also to contribute a chapter to the history of American journalism, Luce commissioned a history of Time Inc. In 1964, three years before he died, he charged the author "to be candid, truthful, and to suppress nothing relevant or essential to the narrative." The result is TIME INC. The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise, 1923-1941 (Atheneum; $10). Can the account of a company be intimate?

...interoffice battles raged, with Luce generally taking a middle course-he saw himself as liberal and mug wump, opposed to fascism as well as left-wing radicalism. Ralph McAllister Ingersoll, managing editor of FORTUNE, general manager of Time Inc. and later publisher of TIME, also quarreled with Luce politically, but more often about publishing matters. In 1938 Hitler was chosen to be TIME'S Man of the Year (the criterion, as always, was news impact not moral worth). Since no adequate color photograph was available, TIME had to settle for a rather innocuous picture of Hitler in khaki. Brooding...
Hurwich liked the idea. He bought the rights for $100,000, and formed Dymo Industries Inc. with another $300.000 to produce the new tool. The Dymo labeler now comes in 20 models priced from $2.95 to $125 in a choice of 21 languages, including Greek and Japanese, and with tapes in 26 different colors. Most models resemble a hand gun, and all have a circular dial with letters and numbers. The user dials his choice, then squeezes the trigger. Out ticks the adhesive tape, ready for use on hundreds of items, from mailboxes to children's toys to underground...
