...victory over the Big Green would give the Crimson three wins as against two losses and one tie for this season. Comparative scores show that Dartmouth split a two-game series with Yale, losing the first 6 to 4, and taking the second 6 to 5, while Harvard bowed to the Elis last week by a 9 to 2 count. Eddie Jeremiah's squad enters this fifty-fifth contest between the Green and Crimson with a season record of our wins and two losses...
Food & Shelter. Was Russia playing possum by deliberately stressing Soviet weakness? It was conceivable, but far from likely. The war had cost Russian production a decade of progress. She could not make that up if a Big Three split forced her to continue devoting two thirds of her national effort to armaments. Whatever their long-term aims might be, Soviet leaders wanted peace long enough to put more food in Russian bellies, more clothes on Russian backs...
...Burrows is a wit's wit, a clown's clown. The late Robert Benchley called him "the greatest satirist" in the U.S. The men who make the public laugh-Danny Kaye, Groucho Marx, Fred Allen, Jack Benny-split their sides laughing when Abe performs.

But last week, Abe agreed that his stuff was too good to keep. He began a $3,000-a-week job writing a new CBS comedy...
Gene McDonald credits his pretty composer-wife, Inez Riddle McDonald (Romance, Cancion), for WWZR's lofty standards.

Then, the 71,650 shares of voting stock were split equally among Mrs. Edsel Ford and. the four children. Until Billy and Josephine, now married to Walter Buhl Ford II (no blood relation), reach the age of 25, Mrs. Edsel Ford is trustee for their shares. The 1,350,000 shares of non-voting stock were turned over to the Ford Foundation, a tax-free charity (Ford Hospital, Greenfield Village, etc.), which the family organized ten years ago. Thus the inheritance tax was comparatively light, although the exact sum is still in dispute between the Ford family and the state...
