...Institute meeting last week came tall, bespectacled Wilmer R. Schuh, 34, of Milwaukee, with a white carnation in his lapel and blunt words about the response of filling station men to the Iowa plan. Mr. Schuh is president of the National Association of Petroleum Retailers, which was formed under NRA, includes more than 50,000 of the 170,000 filling station owners in the U. S. Mr. Schuh's principal job since the Iowa Plan was adopted has been to quell price wars among the new independents. Said...

Last week the four young Mexicans selected to take part in this ceremony arrived in Houston, Tex. to tackle Wilmer Allison, John Van Ryn, Donald Budge and Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant...
...tournament sooner than ever. Australia, entered in the American instead of the European zone, will play the U. S. in Philadelphia May 30, with the advantage of a full summer of practice against players who may not have had time to round into mid-season form. Wilmer Allison, acting U. S. captain, last week made the confident predictions which are as standardized a part of preliminary Davis Cup competition as the victory over Mexico: "If we can get by Australia, our prospects will be excellent. . . . This can easily be our year...
