This week Great Britain seemed to be more afraid of peace than war. London circulated a weird story: to convince the U. S. that Hitler had become a penitent, religious man, Father Odo had been sent to the U. S. by Clipper. Father Odo is Karl Alexander Maria Philipp Joseph Albrecht Gregor, His Royal Highness the Duke of Württemberg, whose father, Duke Albrecht, was a Field Marshal of World War I fame.

The lot which Carnegie doled out this year includes: one slightly shopworn illustrator, John Held Jr., to the University of Georgia; one up-&-coming muralist, Philip Evergood, to Kalamazoo College.

Pince-nezed, schoolmarmish Nadia Boulanger, coach of many a young composer, was last seen driving away with her most precious possessions piled high in an automobile. Few other Fontainebleau teachers have been heard from at all. But two pianists, Robert Casadesus and his pretty wife Gaby, are in the U. S. Last week they started up the Fontainebleau tradition at Newport...
