...White House the President called Colorado's stocky little Senator Alva Blanchard Adams, banker-lawyer chairman of the Senate subcommittee which had charge of the Relief bill. "Little Alva," to whom the President gave "the silent treatment" when he ran for renomination last summer, may not be so brilliant as his late father, "Big Alva," who was Governor of Colorado for two terms, or so colorful as his Uncle Billy, who ranched in the San Luis Valley (whence came Jack Dempsey) and was Governor thrice.

...Institute last year finished-and the Oxford University Press last week published-the first three volumes of a colossal, seven-volume Survey of Persian Art containing 200 color plates, 1,300 collotype pages, some 1,800 drawings.
