Problems in Philly. In Philadelphia, Democrats were fearful that Mayor James Tate, a party plodder who inherited the office last year when Crusading Liberal Richardson Dilworth resigned to run unsuccessfully for Governor, would be in trouble with whites for his acquiescence to demands from a notably militant grouping of Negro organizations. As it turned out, Tate won-but by the thinnest edge the Democrats had sweated in twelve years of power...

After a month the exhibition will move to London's Tate Gallery. Even in a big art center it should prove instructive. Picasso's nude and a bleak industrial landscape by British Primitive Laurence Stephen are separated not by a gulf, but by the vast sea that present-day artists venture upon. Beaverbrook's hundred provide a lively answer to an impossible question...
