When U. S. Ambassador Harry Frank Guggenheim arrived in Cuba, one of the crankiest, most vexatious problems he found waiting settlement was a $9,000,000 real estate claim of U. S. citizen Joseph E. Barlow, long-time Havana resident and land promoter (TIME, April 29 et seq.). For ten years Mr. Barlow, at times irascible, had been pressing the U. S. Government for justice from Cubans he claimed had stolen his property. Last week Ambassador Guggenheim thought he had found a method of settlement. Citizen Barlow balked at the arrangement...

...York University bounded out of its academic bed last week with a new, learned periodical, the Air Law Review. It was the first U. S. institution to establish a full school of Aeronautics with help of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics. Therefore it considered itself having a preemption on academic Aeronautics. Last August N. Y. U. roused itself when Northwestern University at Chicago set up an Air Law Institute on the model of the Koenigsberg Institut für Luftrecht, established in 1924 as the world pioneer. N. Y. U. promised itself a similar institute...
