...Juan, Nationalists applied for a permit to parade as a protest against the imprisonment of eight of their leaders, including Chief Firebrand Pedro Albizu y Campos, who was sentenced to ten years in Atlanta penitentiary after conviction for sedition.* Mayor Ormes of Ponce issued a permit. Colonel Enrique de Orbeta, insular police chief, promptly canceled it. The Nationalists announced they would parade anyhow. The paraders came in contact with police near Pila Hospital in the heart of Ponce. A shot (fired by a Nationalist, according to police) broke the Sunday afternoon calm. The police opened fire with riot and submachine...
...which was to have represented His Majesty at the British Coronation. Reason: Vittorio Emanuele III and his subjects, including Il Duce, are united in considering His Majesty not only King of Italy but also Emperor of Ethiopia, united too in refusing to stomach what they call the "British insult" de livered when George VI invited Haile Selassie to send a native delegation "to represent the Ethiopian Emperor at the Coronation."

At latest reports wounded Count de Chambrun, ever the gallant diplomat of the old school, was refusing to have the woman who winged him prosecuted. Said the Countess de Chambrun, former Princess Murat: "This journalist often saw my husband when she was in Rome writing news stories. She certainly was suffering from hallucinations when she suddenly appeared...
...polite hint. By last week Austrian police, correspondents and such Government officials as have frequent contact with His Royal Highness had in fact soured on Edward. Typical comment: "He gives orders to everybody, shouts and gets furious if police, railway officials and the rest don't jump. The de luxe through express trains have to be stopped to put him down or pick him up from tiny ski stations, something neither the President nor the Chancellor of Austria would ever ask. He doesn't even spend money in Vienna. Yesterday he went shopping for jewelry all day, pawed...
