This blast from quiet Senator Fred Her bert Brown of New Hampshire played its part in persuading Congress to pass the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 ("death sentence"). Howard Hopson, lying low ever since he was spanked by the Black investigation for lobbying against the Act, has left to his more conventional brethren in utilities the job of fighting the death sentence. Last week that fight was apparently over. Having battled unavailingly up to the Supreme Court, all the major utilities submitted plans for slicing themselves up in accord with the death sentence.

Last week, Knoedler displayed against the black velvet of its inner rooms 58 borrowed pictures by three French artists of the early 19th Century: Gros, Géricault, Delacroix. The gate receipts were to go to a society called "La Sauvegarde de l'Art Fran...

Father Barrow had been hospitalized since 1911 but married Champion Louis' mother during an absence from the hospital. The Barrow family, who have quietly kept up relations with the father, allowed the story to circulate that his whereabouts were unknown, that he probably died years ago. Reported to be a prized possession of Father Barrow was an autographed picture: "To my father, Monroe Barrow, from his son, Joe Louis Barrow." Champion Louis' relatives last...
