...Still helping U. S. Attorney John T. Cahill catch other rich practitioners of the smuggling game at which he specialized was Albert Chapereau (Shapiro), who last week was sentenced to two years in jail for masterminding the crookery that got Radio Star Jack Benny and Comedian George Burns into the law's toils (TIME, April 17). Last week Attorney Cahill sent to Governor Lehman information tending to show that Judge Edgar Lauer knew plenty about his wife's smuggling. Four days later Judge Lauer resigned...
...read an inscription on a big U-shaped building at the World's Fair which, still unfinished last week, was a focus of embarrassment for the Works Progress Administration, whose show at the Fair it is. Representative Woodrum's committee to investigate WPA before voting its 1940 money (TIME, April 20, et seq.), sent to New York City two Treasury engineers to look into the costs and efficiency of WPA projects compared to private projects. The Treasury's men made clear that WPA's monument to itself is a monument also to expense...

"Wizzin' The Wizz" and "Denison Swing," supposedly featuring the rather tiresome but flashy two fingered piano of Lionel Hampton, really shows the fine...
...Littauer is already assured of renown by the building which he so generously gave and which bears his name. But his ideas on the subject of public administration, perhaps the most important part of his gift, have still to be perpetuated. It is therefore up to the hand-picked fellows of the Graduate School of Public Administration, which is housed in the Littauer Center, to carry forth into the world the results of their research. For as Dean Williams has said, the emphasis of the School will be upon investigation and research rather than upon formal instruction. Through the agency...
