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.
