...your issue of Oct. 22 appears an article entitled "Faunce Out." This contains a farrago of insinuations and trivialities, many of them untrue.

The appointment of Percy Marks was terminated before the publication of The Plastic Age. Neither Chinese nor Negroes are numerous at Brown, although her gates are open to both, and should be so in a land of equal opportunity.

...grandiose fortnight that ended for Charles Michael Schwab in Manhattan last week. He had sat, dined and posed with the country's other industrial tycoons (TIME, Oct 29). He gave $25,000 to the Republican national campaign fund. His Bethlehem Steel Corp. made its report for the third quarter of this year. (Its business and profits this year have run somewhat less than last. But production now is at 94% of capacity and is efficient. Directors again decided to pay no common dividends.) Lastly, happily and philosophically Tycoon Schwab presided over the yearly general meeting of the American Iron...
