Seeded No. 1 was 22-year-old Don McNeill of Kenyon College, who had twice defeated Germany's Baron Gottfried von Cramm, had won the U. S. indoor tennis championship two years ago, had trounced U. S.

Since then the artist's famed picture of his mother has become such a Mother's Day ikon* that a separate study of the Woman Behind the Painting became inevitable. If Biographer Mumford† had had the style to confine her monograph within 200 incisive pages, she might have added something to literature.
