Next, in the House of Commons, various Labor Members denounced last week the expected representation of Germany at the Coronation by Ministerprdsident-Generaloberst Goring. Fresh from the U. S., where she harangued Detroit strikers, famed little Laborite Miss Ellen Wilkinson had to be coldly ignored in the House by Viscount Cranborne, Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, when she shrieked: "Can we have some guarantee that we shall not be insulted by the presence of General Goring as Germany's representative at the Coronation?" So far as British officials knew last week, Goring is coming and that is that...
...hawky face intent upon SEC's hardboiled young lawyers, 63-year-old Mr. Williams affably admitted las't week that he had "influence on the management" of North American Co., North American Light & Power, Pacific Gas & Electric, Northern Natural Gas, Detroit Edison, United Light & Power, American Water Works. After 1929 the astringent years which wiped out many a man of wealth merely shrank Mr. Williams' fortune from fabulous to big. He retained his 400-ft. yacht, the Warrior; his houses, his leisure for travels almost as continuous as those of his wife, his interest in oceanography which...
...care of by open-handed Lord Nuffield, the most princely Oxford benefactor since William of Wykeham or Henry VIII. Lord Nuffield, who used to run a cycle shop for undergraduates on the High and whose Morris motorcar works in nearby Cowley now make outlying Oxford town resemble a small Detroit, startled Oxford recently by handing over $10,000,000 to realize Sir Farquhar Buzzard's dream of a university medical centre (TIME, Jan. 4). It was also Lord Nuffield who started off the Oxford Appeal in Britain with $500,000. The Cecil Rhodes Trustees promptly pledged another...
...Detroit, discovered studying at Southwestern High School, were Pauline ("Paulyann") Taylor and Pauline E. ("Neene") Taylor. Born within two hours of each other on Sept. 22, 1920, they are both redheaded, freckled, look alike, dress alike, prefer the same food, swim and play the piano equally well. Inseparable, they are unrelated. Pauline Taylor was born at St. Ignace, Mich., Pauline E. Taylor at St. Catherines...
...making unit. Last year Owens sold about $6,000,000 worth of cans, which meant perhaps 300,000,000. More annoying to American and Continental is Baltimore's Crown Cork & Seal, No. 1 maker of bottle caps. Last year Crown sold a subsidiary automotive supply business called Detroit Gasket, started to put the proceeds into tin cans. Its production last year was trifling, and even this year after a big new Philadelphia plant is completed, Crown probably will account for no more than 2% of the total U. S. can output. Crown is also developing an aluminum plated...
