...personally and privately" in autumn, 1936. The late Mrs. Nicholas Brady (later Macaulay) was his hostess at Manhasset, L. I. He lunched with the Roosevelts at Hyde Park, addressed the National Press Club in Washington, went to Philadelphia and Boston, toured by air as far west as San Francisco. First Pope in history to have personal knowledge of the U. S., Pius XII has cousins in Flushing and Jordan...
...battle lines remained intact. A serious revolt of Generalissimo Francisco Franco's sympathizers was put down in Loyalist Cartagena and 30 Loyalist aviators escaped to Morocco in their planes. In their first manifesto members of the new Government even uttered bold words about "resisting to the utmost limit" and sinking or swimming together. But General Casado is an old-line career officer whose political attachments are much nearer to those of Generalissimo Franco than to Loyalist radicals.

The San Francisco Examiner is another $1,000,000 paper. The Call-Bulletin and Oakland's Post-Enquirer earn far less, but stand to get a boost from the fair this year. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, once the weak sister of the Coast, has been pulling out of the red under Roosevelt Son-in-Law John Boettiger, will make enough in 1939 to offset 1938's losses. These...
