...businessman-admirer of Statesman Glass visited Harvard's Business School, found no portrait of its namesake in the School's Glass Hall, promptly had one painted. Soon afterward the two men met, and ever since Carter Glass and Jesse Jones have been the stanchest of friends, the warmest of mutual admirers. Senator Glass calls Chairman Jones the ablest administrator in Washington. First of this month he moved from Washington's Raleigh Hotel, where he has lived for 22 years, to an apartment on Jesse Jones's floor in the Mayflower. Last week in the Senate...
