...difficult key post of Minister of the Interior (controlling the national police force and secret service) Dr. Negrin chose young, forceful Basque Socialist Julian Zugazagoita who announced that he would maintain internal order with a rod of iron.

Julio Alvarez del Vayo, who during the Civil War has acquired the distinction of being one of Europe's most brilliant foreign ministers, had to be replaced because he is inextricably linked with former Premier Largo Caballero.

...yachts are patterned after models which are sailed in a loo-ft. tank. At Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N. J., a 43-in. model of the new Ranger was tried out last autumn against a similar model of Endeavour I. Ranger proved much faster. In the Bath Iron Works, which had previously built only one Cup contender and in which last winter's most important job was five U.
