Being the grandson of a '49er, and a Native Son I feel impelled to go to the aid of that local lady who fears her Eastern kin may fear to visit Frisco because she is living in the "toughest part of town" (TIME, March 13). I'll calm her fears right off the reel. Neither she nor her relatives need fear any toughness in this city. There ain't no such thing any more. This town is as tame now as a long tailed lamb. All its toughness was rubbed out long ago along with...
...voice of his fugitive master, King Zog I, dwindled away behind the mountains of Greece, drowned out by the cannon of Mussolini, Minister Konitza betook himself to the State Department to protest his country's rape and to announce that he, like Minister Hurban of Czecho-Slovakia (TIME, March 27), would not yield his legation to his country's conquerors.

Eighteen miles out, the lone woman in the race was disqualified when a judge caught her riding in a truck while her horses peered out placidly from a trailer. When the going got tough, five other riders dropped out. Nevertheless, Promoter Parton and his pals had a rare outing, a lot of it in wayside saloons. But as the California line neared they began...
