...make sure that the participants are well matched. Leonard (Reginald Owen) is a gruff and ignorant milord running off with a charming lady named Anne (Diana Wynyard). Under Mr. Latimer's hospitable roof he is surprised to meet his wife Eustasia (Billie Burke) eloping with a toothy young bachelor named Nicholas (Alan Mowbray). By the time Mr. Latimer has given both his male guests colds in the head, stolen their razors and ruined their clothes to make them ridiculous, the two couples have been reshuffled. Leonard and Nicholas have sneaked away together. Fussy Eustasia is nursing the butler...
...Government made a martyr of Ramon Grau San Martin last January when "garage diplomacy," initiated by U. S. Ambassador Sumner Welles, forced him to end his four-month regime in resignation. The youngish (49) bachelor surgeon moped off to Mexico City and exile. His successor as Provisional President, Carlos Mendieta, has played a smart and liberal game but has not erased the memory of martyred Grau from the minds of Cuba's lower classes. Still practically ungovernable, they believe in Grau. Last week 100,000 of them, students, workmen, Negroes, sailors, swarmed around the docks in Havana Harbor...
These words, tapped from a Manila-Detroit telephone call by short-wave radio sets, crackled into the home of many an eavesdropping Philippine resident.

...technicalities and fewer still cared to. Republicans made more of its past than its future. Illinois' Britten charged that it was written by "the scarlet fever boys in the little red house in Georgetown"-a dig at Thomas Corcoran and Benjamin Victor Cohen, New Deal legalites who keep bachelor hall at $50 each per month in an old brick house in Washington's suburb. The whole country, said this hard-bitten Congressman, was whispering about these "radicals." Shouted Ohio's Truax: "They're not radical enough!" Stolid Representative Mapes of the House Interstate & Foreign Commerce Committee...
Brutally last week Dictator Kemal snubbed the useless loyalty of Turkey's eunuchs. An admirer of Italian Fascism, he had borrowed Mussolini's bachelor tax idea. But when he set out to test it in the district of Smyrna, he chose to forget about Turkey's unique variety of bachelor, unknown in Italy. To the Turkish tax collectors, the eunuchs were neither women nor married men; hence, they were bachelors liable to the tax. Other men could escape the levy by means of a hasty marriage to one of Turkey's still ample supply of women...
