These summer weekends Dulles hurries up to his handsome shore place at Lloyd Neck, Long Island, where he spends as much time as possible with his wife, two married daughters and son Allen Macy, an ex-Marine lieutenant who is still recuperating from a near-fatal head wound suffered in the fighting around Korea's Bunker Hill last November...
Room for Improvement. Much of the increased respect with which CIA is now regarded in Washington is directly attributable to Smith and Allen Dulles. But Dulles himself is the first to admit that there is plenty of room for improvement. Relations with the military intelligence services, though better than ever before, are still less than good. (The Navy, which had advance warning of the Batista coup d'état in Cuba last year, failed to pass the word on to CIA.) Because of insufficient filtering and analysis at lower levels, a vast and confusing flood of information is still...
...Scripps-Howard's crusading Cleveland Press, Veteran (51) Forrest Allen enjoys an earned reputation as a tenacious, digging reporter who makes life uncomfortable for errant public officials. For five years, picking away at the probate-court administration in Cuyahoga County, Allen has often broken off bits of news, but he never seemed to hit probate pay dirt.

It was Brewer's responsibility to appoint trustees and guardians to manage the funds of widows, orphans and insane persons, and to approve (or disapprove) their periodic accounts.

From this lawyer, the trail...
Services for the Dead. But it was the case of the late Thomas Wracan that really nailed Judge Brewer. For 17 years, reported Allen and Giaimo, Brewer had been acting as guardian of a dead man. For his mythical services, Brewer had paid himself $500 in fees and failed to turn over $359 more. In all, charged the Press, Brewer, instead of winding up his guardianships when he first became a judge, was still short in accounts by $6,300; with interest, that brought the amount Brewer owed to nearly...
