False Economy. Los Angeles Regent Edward Carter argued against using the regents' fund "just to balance the state budget one year," pointed out that it had financed such pioneering projects as Physicist Ernest Lawrence's cyclotron studies. Financier Norton Simon, calling on his own business experience, warned against any budgeting that reduces the quality of the product. "I wouldn't tear down the very root of what's been built," he declared. "This is the falsest kind of economy...
...question that has plagued Spain ever since the civil war: What will happen when Franco dies? As before, his regime will have to choose between a king (most probably Don Juan de Borbón y Battenberg, 53, the liberal-minded pretender to the Spanish throne) and a regent (favored by antimonarchists as a device to turn Spain into a republic).

The king, in turn, will inaugurate a royal succession in which the first male heir will inherit the throne. If normal custom is followed, the first king will be Don Juan de Borbon y Battenberg, 53, son of Spain...
...cramming for his university entrance exams. Had he wanted a real birthday blowout, the lad could well have afforded it. His income from inherited properties has now been raised to $84,000 per annum. Other advantages of his official coming of age: he replaces his father as regent-designate, would directly assume his mother's powers should she be unable to carry out her duties. Also, he becomes one of the six counselors of state-members of the royal family who act for the Queen in her absence abroad...
