...national radio audience was urgently invited to visit another Manhattan art show and inspect, at the Arthur U. Newton Galleries, a set of portraits by a small, kinetic, kinky-haired Pole named Stanislav Rembski. Most of those who accepted the invitation, however, went less to see a slick icy canvas of Dr. Frank Damrosch or a promising self-portrait of the artist than to have a good long look at a brand new picture of a smiling, self-confident, wispy-haired man of 45 in a blue serge suit.

Last year Japan delivered a quiet, crushing blow to Chinese industry by forcing Generalissimo Chiang to lower tariffs on leading Japanese exports to China and up tariffs on leading imports from the U.

...Quite as slick as Andrus, the Rockefellers promptly bought all the Jersey waterfront property they could lay their hands on-but not from Andrus. When Andrus remonstrated, Standard Oil offered him stock to be" paid for out of dividends. Said Andrus a few years ago: "I soon owned the stock outright, and oh! how those shares have grown...
