Sculptors as a class have a minor but reasonable complaint against the world. It is not that their materials are expensive or that they work harder with their hands than other artists. What irks them is that it usually takes a stereotyped kind of public rumpus (see col. 1) to get them their share of attention and criticism. Last year 58 Manhattan sculptors organized a guild to do something about this, and last week they did it. On a vacant corner lot in midtown Manhattan, rented from the city for $5, they put on an outdoor exhibition of about...
...Youngstown Sheet & Tube and Inland Steel. When strike tactics failed, S. W. O. C. began filing charges with the labor board. Certain that it had a majority of the workers in two Inland Steel plants, S. W. O. C. decided to lodge against this company its most far-reaching complaint: that by refusing to reduce an oral agreement to writing, the company had refused to bargain collectively in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Last week, Chairman Madden and his two associates agreed with the union...
...spent money like Franklin Roosevelt's.

Last week, Practical Politician Joe Martin's chief complaint was strikingly familiar: "You just can't tell what that fellow in the White House will do next...
When Gropius came to Harvard one long-standing gripe among architectural students was that the "faculty jury," which judged all undergraduate designs, could not be as fair as the individual professor who set each class its problem. To this complaint Professor Gropius lent a sympathetic ear, changed the system. Another Gropius innovation was instruction in industrial design by Marcel Breuer, a Hungarian designer who is credited with having developed the first tubular chair. Now in prospect are workshops where Breuer pupils may learn at first-hand the uses of modern materials. But the most extraordinary proof of Architect Gropius...
...only a few meagre words of regret. Doggedly bent on satisfaction, Mr. Block instituted a $900,000 libel suit against the Nation and Mr. Allen. Up to this week no paper had published news of the action, for both plaintiff and defendants neatly avoided publicity by keeping the complaint out of court. If Mr. Block hoped that quietly starting suit against the Nation-which would be flattered if anyone thought it had $900,000- would smoke out a retraction, he guessed wrong. Last week the Nation's attorneys, most famed of whom is liberal Lawyer Morris Ernst, were diligently...
