...Wilmington, Del., where young Pyles and young Wyeths still make most of the art news (TIME, Nov. 15; 1937). Abbey's Tennysonian women and Pyle's nut-brown heroes haunted subsequent illustrators in oil. So did their love of historical romance. One of their stylistic descendants is Norman Rockwell (45), whose first Saturday Evening Post cover appeared in May 1916, and who has grown rich on the subsequent 185. A perpetually delighted, boyish man much like his own schoolboy characters, Norman Rockwell paints with unvarying lovability, blatant technical flair and particularly lusty highlights. He and Mead Schaeffer...
...admirers call Clinton Norman Howard "The Little Giant," because he looks and spouts like old-time Orator Stephen Douglas. As superintendent of the International Reform Federation in Washington he is No. 1 U. S. reformer. His potential enemies, from Billiards to Theatre, are catalogued alphabetically in the Federation's offices. Lately one of the Little Giant's files-the one on Gambling-has been particularly crammed. What made Reformer Howard broody was the fact that a lot of this gambling was under church auspices. For the last three years, U. S. churches have raised thousands of dollars...
Largest scootermaker is Moto-Skoot Manufacturing Co. of Chicago, which sold 4,500 two-and three-wheelers last year, expects to sell 10,000 in 1939. Head of Moto-Skoot is 27-year-old Norman A.

Racer Siegal sold his share in a Chicago Loop garage for $1,090 in 1936, hired three workmen, and in a corner of a West Side factory began making Moto-Skoots. By the end of the year...
...loan company in the U. S.-the $50,000,000 Pacific States Savings & Loan Co. The three battlers: 1) California's Building & Loan Commissioner Ralph Willard Evans, who fortnight ago took over Pacific States "to conserve and protect the investments of thousands of people"; 2) retired Millionaire Norman Waite Church, who was appointed custodian of the company; 3) ham-fisted Robert Stewart Odell, Pacific States' chief owner...
...direct answer. Instead he brought a spectacular counterattack. He claimed that Commissioner Evans is a political minion of Governor Olson and that they are ganging up on him because he did not contribute enough to their 1938 campaign fund. He based this in part upon the appointment of Norman Church as Pacific States' custodian...
