...McKinney last week with his first exhibition at the Museum of History, Science and Art. Recognizing right off the bat the most lively art of the neighborhood he devoted the whole exhibition to work done on the Southern California Art Project. Under the direction of S. (for Stanton) MacDonald-Wright,* the project has concentrated on outdoor murals befitting the climate. On view were striking murals in many mediums, notably mosaic, petrachrome (dyed concrete in which are mixed little stones of varied color), and terra cotta slabs in low relief (an early Mesopotamian medium in which no serious work has been...
Couturier Mainbocher started neither the corset nor the idea of reviving it this year, but his sponsorship was the fillip the trend needed.

Fortnight ago, while the more conservative Metropolitan Milk Producers Bargaining Agency (45,000 members) was asking the Federal-State administrator to up the price of Class I milk from $2.25 to $2.82, Archie Wright took a bolder step. He announced D. F. U. was going to strike, not only against present prices, but against the whole "blended price" system.
