...Philadelphia Banker Joseph Wayne Jr., drive chairman, of Thomas I. Parkinson, president of Equitable Life, and of John Price Jones, high-powered professional fund raiser, the drive last week fell far short of its goal. Total raised: $5,035,000. Borne out were recent warnings by President Robert Maynard Hutchins of University of Chicago that U. S. universities faced a decline in gifts. Taking what comfort it could from the fact that 18,000 donors had contributed to its fund, Pennsylvania inscribed their names on an honor roll, placed it, together with other mementos, in a stainless steel...

Economist John Maynard Keynes figures, perhaps optimistically, that up to this week German bombers had destroyed no more than Londoners have the means to rebuild in a year...
...national defense. The News Chronicle called the budget "Timid and tinkering." The Daily Mirror'?, acid "Cassandra" wrote: "It's like its creator-chubby, cheery, ineffective, unimaginative and hopelessly inadequate. It limps far behind public demand." In plainer sight than ever was the plan of liberal Economist John Maynard Keynes to appropriate a part of everybody's salary, "hold it" for him until after...
