Proprietor of this "Franklin Terrace" Project is the Princeton Housing Authority, from which Inventor Lambert accepted tax-exempt bonds for his $30,000. They will be amortized over 28 years and meanwhile pay him 4% interest each year on the balance outstanding. After 28 years the land & buildings will become the Borough of Princeton's property, Inventor Lambert will have his $30,000 back, and the Franklin Terrace occupants will have had brand-new Housing nowhere else available at $6.25 per room per month (plus $3 per month per unit for heat...
...Park Commissioner Robert Moses issued an ominous warning: unless the long strip of beach and sand dunes which now protects Long Island from the sea were turned over to him, the next big blow would destroy it (TIME, Oct. 17). The cost of making Mr. Moses' promised land of boulevard-parkway and State parks was $15,500,000 of which Suffolk County must pay a little over two-thirds...
...long over the cost, got Mr. Moses to shave his plan to $9,250,000. Then they worried over the idea of opening Suffolk County's wild and beautiful seashore to hordes of city trippers and picnickers. Last week they voted 7-to-3 to have no promised land.

It was the eighth in a series of costly Rightist attempts to regain the narrow, mountainous strip of land west of the Ebro taken by the Leftists in late July. Long ago the salient ceased to have much strategic value. Committed to retaking it, however, Generalissimo Francisco Franco sent general after general to drive the Leftists back across the river, is estimated to have spent the lives of 70,000 men there since early August...
...Germany known to be in precarious financial straits, the assassination of a minor ambassadorial official in Paris recently was nothing less than providential. The fact that the killing was done by a Jew, which race Hitler has no qualms about persecuting, may do much to help Nazi-land meet its huge monetary obligations. The present Hitler imposition of a $400,000,00 "fine" on the German Jews is a recrimination seldom paralleled in peace-time history. Of war indemnity proportions, this "fine" represents a persecution of such concentrated and vicious nature as to arouse world-wide condemnation. Enforced...
