...special convention of the diocese last week, the 1,000-odd clerical and lay delegates reached an obvious compromise. As new Bishop of New York they elected tall, cigaret-smoking Rt. Rev.

Archbishop-elect is the Most Rev. Urban John Vehr, Bishop of Denver...
...Newport Casino, having swallowed its pride and opened its tennis courts to all who could pay, has swallowed again and let a Naval officers' club come right indoors. Mrs. Herbert Shipman, widow of the late Suffragan Bishop of New York, is offering to any hotelman who can pay for it the sprawling Cliff Walk estate built by her late, famed father, Edson Bradley. Furnishings of fabulous Rosecliff, $2,500,000 estate of the late Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, will be auctioned on Bastille Day. Reported hungry for the house and grounds are the Navy and the United Service Organizations. Princess...
