...your readiness to establish a life subscription rate (TIME, May 27, p. 4) well considered? "Sufficient interest" seems to be hardly sufficient reason. Life-expectation tables can have little bearing on the rate, as such subscriptions would be relatively few; nor has the life subscriber an assurance that TIME will not change its policy, cease publication, merge with another. There remains also the advertiser, whose best assurance of sustained reader-interest is the addition or renewal of annual (or possibly biennial or triennal) subscriptions...
Were the Governor-guests ranked around the conference table the way their States ranked in oil-production, the youngest executive would sit at the head. Gov. Dan Moody (lower left on front cover) of Texas is 36. His State recently has been exuding oil at the terrific rate of approximately 780,000 barrels...

Potential production is estimated by a general engineering committee of the oil operators and from these estimates Umpire...
...very much surprised by the patronizing release made to The Boston American by Mr. Potter on the CRIMSON editorial concerning the Sargent murals. Everyone recognizes that as works of art they are disgraceful. Many critics feel that Sargent was a second-rate derivative artist throughout his life, but even his advocates admit that his last period was a long retrogression and that he reached the lowest depths in the Widener Library pictures. If Mr. Potter still has doubts on the subject, he might ask any member of the Fine Arts Department; even those who are most sympathetic toward Sargent...
