President Martin's low state coincided with the presence in Detroit of C. I. O. Vice Chairmen Philip Murray and Sidney Hillman. With them at the Hotel Statler was swart young Lee Pressman, C. I. O. general counsel, who is so thoroughly allergic to Homer Martin that the two were kept apart. Boss John L. Lewis had sent the visitors to save C.I.O.'s third largest union from dismemberment at the hands of Mr. Martin and feuding fellow officers (TIME, June 20). Mr. Lewis was aboard ship, coasting home from a union conference in Mexico City...

Typical Murray pupil is a businessman over 40 who pays $100 for 20 lessons. With 260 people on his $8,000-a-week payroll, Arthur Murray prefers Southern girls as teachers (he finds them forceful but gracious...
About 25% of Murray students are women, one of them an old lady with long white gloves who has been studying for eleven years, and many of them prefer female teachers to males. Arthur Murray has a back door and private elevator for timid souls who do not like to be seen entering. But such people as Paul Whiteman, Margaret Bourke-White, the Duke of Windsor, Myrna Loy, Prince Louis Ferdinand of Germany, James Roosevelt, Lowell Thomas, Elizabeth Arden and Ina Claire are not ashamed of having gone in the front way. Altogether the school handles 3,000 pupils...
