...just as Planner Townsend was about to give himself into the hands of a U. S. Marshal to begin his term, word came that Franklin Roosevelt had lent a sympathetic ear to Senator McAdoo, had pardoned Planner Townsend. Apparently not in the least crestfallen at losing a month's privacy and martyrdom, Dr. Townsend said: "It is complete vindication and an act of contrition on the part of Congress...
Bradley & Murphy, Robert Young points to Cleveland rumors that they are minions of J. P. Morgan & Co. because Morgan's lent them sufficient money last summer to buy Cleveland's Higbee department store. To prove that "Guaranty Trust Co. has utilized, subverted and abused its fiduciary position as trustee," he claims C. & O.'s present management has shown its worth by its success, that his simplification plans would benefit Alleghany bondholders, that Guaranty's claim to impartiality was exploded when it rejected as possible "impartial" directors for Chesapeake such bigwigs proposed by Young as Pan American...

When Gropius came to Harvard one long-standing gripe among architectural students was that the "faculty jury," which judged all undergraduate designs, could not be as fair as the individual professor who set each class its problem.

Another Gropius innovation was instruction in industrial design by Marcel Breuer, a Hungarian designer who is credited with having developed the first tubular chair. Now in prospect are workshops where Breuer pupils may learn at first-hand the uses of modern materials. But the most extraordinary proof of Architect Gropius...
