With the Tydings bill for Porto Rican independence, the Administration once again gives startling evidence of its "good neighbor" attitude towards Latin America. This latest move is particularly astute since it gains sentimental prestige as the generous act of a great nation towards an aspiring little one; and at the same time it may rid us of the last and most harrassing of the Caribbean hornets...
German Peace. Last week's Peace Plan of the German Government proved to be a remarkable document. Read by itself in one piece, it was eminently reasonable, generous and idealistic, calculated to convince any open-minded crowd in the world...
...leases, rocketed. The 104-year-old Girard endowment now totals $88,844,000. Only Harvard and Yale are richer than this charity elementary and high school. Sprouted from its wealth are 28 more white marble buildings, within which 1,700 orphans, a staff of 600, live a life more generous than the Founder ever knew.

They live in dormitory groups of 25-to-35, obey a governess who sees that they take a shower every night...

Generous Cincinnati critics credited her with having made a promising start in opera. Newshawks made much of the facts that she had once won a bathing beauty contest (in 1929), when she was a high-school student in Bessemer, Mich., that she had twice been invited to join the Follies. Such publicity found little favor with the Gorman family which comes from proud old Gloucester...
