...liquor is drunk in Tennessee, and it is legal to manufacture liquor in Tennessee for export to other States. This last is due to the cuteness of rich, tieless old Lem Motlow who owns most of Moore County. In 1937, Lem Motlow wangled a law enabling him to reopen his family's oldtime Jack Daniel No. 7 bourbon distillery at Lynchburg. But not for 30 years, until last week, was it legal to sell liquor in Tennessee. That was due to the assassination of Editor Edward Ward Carmack of the Nashville Tennessean after the hot Governorship campaign...
Last year in Chicago, Gropius' trusted friend and colleague, brilliant, bland Moholy-Nagy, was hired by a businessmen's Association of Arts & Industries to conduct a New Bauhaus, sponsored by Gropius and embodying Old Bauhaus principles. Last autumn the Association refused to reopen the school because of "lack of funds," then changed its tune to a violent but vague splutter about Moholy-Nagy's "Hitlerism" (TIME, Oct. 24). All that appeared to be at the bottom of this fuss was Moholy-Nagy's earnest and methodical teaching discipline; nine out of 13 New Bauhaus teachers stoutly...
This week Daytonians were to vote for the seventh time on a proposed special 2-mill levy. Even should Dayton's chastened citizens vote for this tax, however, they will still have to do some deep thinking to find a way to reopen their schools before Christmas, for the new funds will not be available until next year...
Dayton's schools were closed because the Board of Education was penniless, owed $61,936 and saw no money coming in before 1939. First screwy move to reopen the schools was an injunction issued by a common pleas judge. It was withdrawn when the schools stayed closed and the judge became impressed with the fact that schools cannot be run without money...
...Bauhaus, directed by Hungarian Designer Ladislaus Moholy-Nagy (TIME, Oct. 25). Last summer hopes of this school appeared to be borne out in an exhibition of fresh experimental work by its students (TIME, July 11). But last month opening day came and Chicago's New Bauhaus did not reopen. Neither chunky Director Moholy-Nagy nor his backers, the supposedly well-heeled Association of Arts & Industries, would say anything except to their lawyers until last week. Then Moholy-Nagy sued the A.A.I. for $2,750 back salary, intimated sadly that he had been gulled. But the A.A.I. had a bitter...
