WASHINGTON'S National Gallery, which will be 15 years old next March, is already deep in plans for its birthday celebration. Main item on the agenda: unveiling 150 masterpieces from the Samuel H. Kress collection. As an indication of the superb quality of the new Kress donations, the gallery this week made public the names of six (see color pages). Each was a masterpiece in the proper sense of the word: clear and present evidence of the artist's genius crossed with the spirit...
...players had a fine time in Moscow-except when they sat down at the chess tables. There the Russian grand masters, who whipped them 20-12 last year in New York, gave them their worst trouncing yet, 25-7. But the U.S. team had considerable consolation. Its own champion, Samuel Reshevsky beat Russia's World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik...
...Samuel W. Anderson, 57, resigned as assistant Secretary of Commerce for international affairs to become president of the American Watch Association, representing U.S. importers of Swiss movements. An investment banker and industrial planner, Anderson joined WPB in 1941, supervised the huge expansion of U.S. aluminum and magnesium industries.

As assistant commerce secretary, Anderson supported President Eisenhower's tariff raise for Swiss watches last year. As watch association president, he will try to turn back the tariff...

Fuchida and his coauthor, another officer who survived the disaster, quote U.S. Naval Historian Samuel Eliot Morison's verdict that Midway was "a victory of intelligence." They have practically nothing good to say for their leaders' performance. They find the Imperial Navy's intelligence "ineffective." its plan "faulty," its technology backward (only the U.S. had radar at Midway), its security procedures far slacker than before the Pearl Harbor attack. In the first week of June 1942, they say, all Japanese suffered...
Fluid Swing. It had been happening all week. First-round scores were amazingly high; half the field failed to break 80. As the tournament shook down, the big names vanished. Defending Champion Ed Furgol never figured; Samuel Jackson Snead, with two good rounds under his belt, exploded all over the course. ("Well, I've had my opportunity, boy," he muttered to his caddy.) Now, going to the 14- green on the fourth round was the one man who still had a chance of catching Hogan: Jack Fleck, 32, a loose-jointed sharpshooter out of Davenport, Iowa, who never took...
