Died. George Grey Barnard, 74, U. S. sculptor; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. George Barnard learned taxidermy and engraving before he studied sculpture. In Paris, where he all but starved, his critics compared him to Michelangelo. Serene, dynamic and a prodigious worker, stocky Sculptor Barnard admired the great Gothic and Renaissance stone-carvers, amassed the finest collection of Gothic sculpture in the U. S. Stormiest of his stormy projects was his lank, saddened figure of Lincoln, which was refused a place in Westminster Abbey in 1917, relegated to Manchester, England.

In Washington last week it was disclosed that Dr. Uhler had turned in to the National Academy of Sciences a value for the logarithm of pi carried out to 215 decimal places, and a value for the square of pi carried out to 262 decimal places...
...diplomatic connections in Europe. His recipe: "Know your man ten years before you need him; give more than you take." In London he has profited recently by being thick with the Italian Embassy, perhaps partly because he strikingly resembles a jesting Mussolini. But he is suing the London Daily Worker for criminal libel because it said he was a liaison man in the British-Italian rapprochement...
