Into Dublin's Department of Agriculture Building last week strode a 78-year-old, tall, erect, walrus-mustached Gaelic scholar. There, flanked by Eire Ministers, high court justices and Parliament leaders, this poet, playwright and author, Dr. Douglas Hyde by name, received from Civil Servant Wilfrid Brown formal notification in Gaelic that he had been elected first President of Eire. No vote-counting was necessary for Civil Servant Brown to reach this conclusion, for Dr. Hyde had been chosen by both Eamon de Valera's Fianna Fail Party and William T. Cosgrave's Opposition Party...
...Tall, bland Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir John Simon drew gasps from startled M. P.s by disclosing that as much as 150,000 tons of wheat have been bought by the Government in a single day, plus correspondingly gigantic purchases of sugar and whale oil.

He has a famous aversion to being photographed and never until this spring had he sat for an important portrait in oils. Last week the completed Portrait of T. S. Eliot by Artist-Author Wyndham Lewis suddenly became celebrated. It was refused a place in the Royal Academy's annual exhibition of British Art. And in protest against this act the Academy...
...fateful seventh Curtiss had kept the enemy's four hits and one walk well scattered for one tally. After singling and scoring a run in the sixth frame, the tall Crimson righthander temporarily lost composure issuing the three successive passes and the two deciding basehits when he next faced the Redmen...
