...great artists of renaissance Italy, John Steuart Curry lives on the patronage of States and institutions, paints in peace. His five-year contract with the University of Wisconsin pays him $4,000 a year, carries with it the title "Professor" and the burden of giving an occasional lecture. Still at work in Madison last week on twelve panels for the State Capitol of Kansas Curry called his Oklahoma Land Rush a picture of the same migration Novelist John Steinbeck describes in Grapes of Wrath. Said he: "Civilization went into the Territory 50 years ago on wheels and is now leaving...
...said out loud what many Parisians had for years been saying in lively whispers. Publisher Henry Robinson Luce, holidaying abroad, stepped off a train at St. Lazare to find that he had been sued for 5,000,000 francs by the Paris Press Association. But France's still democratic Government took no action, and TIME remained on French newsstands. Publisher Luce expressed regrets for TIME'S too-general indictment of the Parisian press. Fortnight later the Government, in an effort to put an end to venality, arrested a brace of journalists on charges of taking money from foreign...
Before the week's end it appeared that even Wendell Willkie was convinced the TVA war was over, that there was still Lebensraum for Commonwealth & Southern's operating chain in ten States. Its Alabama Power Co. announced a project which Wendell Willkie would never have dared to try while the TVA fight was on: a $4,000,000 steam power plant in Mobile.

Three of the big makers-Curtiss-Wright, Douglas and North American- showed net profits ranging from 27% to 200% over the first six months of 1938. Boeing, still charging off development expense on its big four-motored jobs, showed a net loss of $183,550. Martin, slowed up in production while it tooled its factory for a 215-plane French bomber order, netted $967,624 (31.7% under 1938's first half) but looked forward to a whopping...
This year's cotton crop is estimated (as of August i) at 11,412,000 bales. Average U. S. consumption (1928-38) is 5,919,000 bales. So a bad situation seemed certain to grow worse. If Europe fights it may grow still worse, for war normally reduces cotton exports. The only means now available for reducing the huge cotton surplus is the use of $50,000,000 appropriated by Congress for export subsidies (with its aid Henry Wallace wishfully hopes to get exports back to 6,000,000 bales). Last week Columnist Hugh Johnson roared...
