...good reason, he was appointed Under Secretary of the Treasury. Other Truman appointments had provoked loud outcries. But Gardner was safe & sound, middle-of-the-road, and commanded respect in Congress. He had helped his friend Fred Vinson (then Secretary) on the laborious backstage negotiations for the British loan. A hardheaded Ambassador like Gardner will be useful to the U.S. next July when, under the loan terms, the British must thaw out enough currency now frozen in the sterling area to give U.S. current creditors payment in dollars.

Except for two Rembrandts, the paintings at the National Gallery were mostly minor masterpieces by such Dutch genre and landscape painters as Steen, Aver-camp and Van der Neer. They added up to $1,000,000 worth of intimate history from a flat, fat land. The loan show was starting a one-year tour of the 114 U.S. museums which had supplied men for the Army's fine arts section.

Grey Dawn. To do this, optimistic Jack Frye knew that T.W.A. needed more money-and plenty of it. T.W.A. might get a loan from RFC or private banks although it already owes the Equitable Life Assurance Society $40 million.
