...libertarian Senator Theodore Francis Green last week returned to Washington with a warm appreciation of tropic hospitality. Along with New York's Republican Representative Hamilton Fish and Democratic Representative Matthew Merritt, Democrat Green was the guest last fortnight of the Dominican Republic's Generalissimo Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina. In Ciudad Trujillo (the General's new name for the venerable city of Santo Domingo), the U. S. delegation looked upon 1) a box (which remained unopened) containing a tiny heap of bone & dust billed as the true "last parts" of Christopher Columbus, and 2) the charm of Trujillo...
...rumrunner was Captain Bill ("The Real") McCoy, now living in West Palm Beach, Fla. where he owns an apartment house and builds boats with his brother Ben. He announced last week that in 1934 he had been commissioned by one P. D. Pina Chevalier, an uncle of President Trujillo Molina of the Dominican Republic, to design a $20,000 all-mahogany schooner as a Dominican gift to Franklin Roosevelt. Captain McCoy said the designs were all finished, approved by Mr. Roosevelt, and he was only waiting for suitable mahogany to be found to go to the Dominican Republic and supervise...
Last January, President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, for seven years hard-hitting dictator of the Dominican Republic, announced he was retiring to "private life," that he would not be a candidate for reelection.

About eight years ago the Compañia Argentina de Alpargatas, a Buenos Aires shoe company, was lucky enough to sign up a 39-year-old artist named Florencio Molina Campos. The calendars which Artist Campos has been turning out every year for the Compañia Argentina de Alpargatas are highly prized rarities in the U. S. and may well be collectors' items when the Compañia's last shoes are worn to dust. Last week this distant reputation materialized in Manhattan in the form of an intent, sardonic, cigar-waving Latin and about 40 paintings...
Florencio Molina Campos never had a drawing lesson and he swears he couldn't draw a straight line if his life depended on it. In a style which fairly often succeeds in being comic, epic and pastoral at the same time, he has done more than 600 tempera and watercolor drawings of Gaucho life on the pampas of Argentina as he remembers it from his own childhood. So crammed with vitality are his buck-toothed cowboys and hammer-headed broncos, thrown into relief by strong, earthy tempera colors, that Pio Collivadino, onetime director of the National School of Decorative...
