...Britain believed that some Cabinet Member was responsible for last month's Budget leak. Three years ago when the British Government took over the defaulted bonds of Newfoundland, there was a similar leak which made fortunes on Newfoundland bonds for a favored few.

A potent partner in Belisha & Co. is Leslie Thomas, son of dumpy James Henry Thomas, Britain's Secretary of State for the Colonies. One of the first facts discovered about...
Husky, brown-robed Father Yvon, 45, thinks of himself as curé of "the world's largest parish," extending across the Atlantic from Brittany to Greenland, thence south to the Grand Banks off Newfoundland.
