Hutcheson's name hit the sawdusty scandal trail when investigators for Tennessee Senator Albert Gore's public-roads subcommittee began to check over a growing woodpile of corruption in Indiana's road-building program. The story, as Gore developed it in Washington hearings last week: Carpenters' Treasurer Frank Chapman, 52, borrowed $20,000 from an Indianapolis bank on his own and Hutcheson's signatures, bought up nine pieces of Indiana right-of-way land for $22,500, sold it all within 30 days to the state for $101,000.

CHICAGO baseball fans, who have hoped in vain for an American League pennant since the "Black Sox" scandal of 1919, have learned to endure an annual disappointment: watching the White Sox get off to a fast start, then fall in a "June Swoon."

The storm of criticism was all that Munch, then 28 and just back from Paris, needed to become a scandalous success in the gloomy provincial city. Berlin painters promptly invited him to show in the German capital, and the scandal was even greater, splitting the Union of Berlin Artists permanently into two camps. Gaily Munch wrote his aunt that "all the uproar was great fun," added that he had gained...
...hysteric scene. But it takes a country vacation with Victoria Blount and her mother to bring into the open an evil that has been only hinted at. John Blaydon, though innocent, becomes notorious in all England. John's parents-his father is a vicar- hope that the scandal will vanish if they ignore it. He is sent to a different school. His name is changed. But to those who know, and those who do not, he is a queer duck. To John himself, life seems as opaque and resistant as if he were living on the ocean floor...
