Lucky in Angels. In matters of art, Cleveland has been lucky in its millionaires; three big trust funds finance the museum. But far and away the kindest angel for the new wing was Leonard Colton Hanna Jr., nephew of famed President-Maker Marcus Alonzo ("Mark"') Hanna, and big stockholder in M. A. Hanna Co. (iron ore, coal, lake shipping, steel), who died last October at 67. Bachelor Hanna became an art collector soon after graduating from Yale ('13), early keyed his private purchases to the museum's future needs. Over the years Hanna gave the museum...

The merger would make it the No. 2 Washington bank (after the Riggs National Bank) and provide investment outlets for U.M.W.'s $140 million in reserves, welfare and retirement funds...
...wife and mother of Francis Colton Hammond, Navy hospital corpsman I/C, were deeply hurt by the article in the Jan. 11 issue of TIME, "Report on a Drug Clerk." It is felt that a great injustice has been done to the memory of this young man who died a hero's death. The article . . . tends to belittle the youth and training of this young man when it would appear that nothing too good could have been said in recording publicly the life of one to whom the entire nation owes a debt of gratitude...
