...Samaroff (born Lucy Hickenlooper in San Antonio, Tex. and once married to Conductor Leopold Stokowski), who deplored the profession's "cutthroat competition," stepped up by refugee musicians in the U. S. The ladies re-elected as their president curly-browed, sweet-spoken Mrs. Vincent Hilles Ober of Norfolk, Va., to whom The Good Fairy Valse was dedicated and played by Pianist Henry Holden Huss.

Frightened Dudley Gilbert passed the dire information on to two men of action: James Erwin Campbell, Army reserve captain and V. F. W. official of Owensboro, Ky., and George E. Deatherage, a St. Albans, W. Va., house painter with a Hitleresque mustache who calls himself "national commander of the Knights of the White Camellia." Messrs.

...self-effacing Farley boomlet began last month with a speech by him at Lynchburg, Va., home of irrevocably anti-Roosevelt old Carter Glass. Mr. Farley there swore fealty once more to Franklin Roosevelt, saluted his humanitarian aims, kept silence regarding the President's economic surrealism. Same week in Albany, Jim Farley's friends moved to tie up for him the New York delegation to the 1940 Democratic National Convention...
