Good Advice. Last week, Johnson added a third slick-papered magazine to his string: Tan Concessions. It was a big cut below the other two. Blending a combination of passion ("Desert Madness," "My Secret Sin") and come-hither morality ("Is the Chaste Girl Chased?"), Confessions looked to be just what it probably will be-a moneymaker for go-getting Publisher Johnson. Said he: "We polled the Negroes and found that they read more confession magazines than anything else."

Quiet, retiring, 65-year-old Walter Sherman Gifford, a Yankee Republican, began his career as a $10-a-week clerk in Western Electric, by a knack for figures and a passion for efficiency, rose to the eminence of chairman of the board of American Telephone & Telegraph, from which he retired last December. His appointment underlined two facts: in some quarters, diplomacy is less politics than big business; Mr. Truman once again had rejected a political appointment for one that would add prestige...
