Scope and content

Briefly describes the shortage of handkerchiefs in America before saying that Walter Gropius should be coming to England in April [to receive Royal Gold Medal], if he is not needed for his 1957 Exhibition apartment building or the dwelling units he is building in the centre of Berlin. The news of his medal has already gained him a contract for a community centre in Tallahassee. Mentions that Lyonel Feininger has died at 84 years old. Gives news of Ati Gropius, who has just got a contract to illustrate a schoolbook and Charles Forberg, who is designing aircraft interiors for TWA
