Portraitists. Three European portraitists, two serious and one not, showed their wares to prospective patrons. At the Newhouse Galleries Austrian Dario Rappaport, skilled painter of such illustrious opposites as Frank B. Kellogg, Benito Mussolini, Pope Pius XI and Bebe Daniels' grandmother, took the palm for traditional solidity. At the Marie Sterner Galleries Arthur Kaufmann, capable and colorful German emigre, showed character studies of the late George Gershwin, Luise Rainer as a plain and pensive 17-year-old in Düsseldorf. At the Georgette Passedoit Gallery were 23 oddities by a healthily impudent 21-year-old Danish girl named...
First Harvard sports authority to speak over the radio with the sanction of the H.A.A., Frank Ryan, H.A.A. publicity director, was heard on the Kellogg program last night and summarized the Crimson chances for today's game...

He also charges that Dr. Rhine evaluates only favorable scores, ignoring others; that he pays no attention to the internal inconsistency of his results; that the presence of sensory cues or some other extraneous factor is indicated by higher scores when conditions are such that the chance...
...Kellogg laid not the slightest imputation against Dr. Rhine's sincerity, but he implied that the "will-to-believe" can lead an honest scientist astray as well as a layman. The one thing that seemed certain last week was that, since the parapsychology question goes to the root of human mentality, it will go on attracting attention, Dr. Rhine will go on attracting adherents, and more skeptics will join Dr. Kellogg on the other side of the fence. And the mechanism of telepathy and clairvoyance, if they exist, remains to be explained in toto...
