Robert Woods Bliss, socially elect "career man" and U. S. Ambassador to Argentina, was able to set out last week on a vacation which he had been forced to abandon temporarily when President-Elect Herbert Hoover decided to junket around South America (TIME, Nov. 26 et seq.). Originally Mr. Bliss planned to join Mrs. Bliss in Europe; but she has now crossed the Atlantic and the U. S. to California. Therefore, as Ambassador Bliss left Buenos Aires, last week, he headed not for Paris but for San Francisco...
