The 80th birthday of elder statesman and Presidential adviser Bernard Baruch was hailed during the week-end by the nation’s leading newspapers. The New York Times, in a highly laudatory editorial, said that “if one may judge by the events of the last three weeks in Washington, Mr. Baruch has never been a more vital force in American affairs.” No public figure of our time, the paper added, “has shown more unswerving confidence than has Mr. Baruch in the American people or a more sincere devotion to those values which add up to the American way of life.”
