...road. Shrieking that this was a lie, the Bolivian Cabinet angrily voted not to name a minister to Asuncion. This passage threw the Paraguayan Army into such a frenzy that they refused to obey Provisional President Franco's order to retreat from the disputed road, threatened a general revolt unless he withdrew the order. With Colonel Franco's fall expected hourly, the Army began to rally behind rabidly anti-Bolivian General Geronimo Zubizarreta for the presidency. Sanctimoniously the Bolivian Cabinet declared: "We decline any responsibility for possible perturbations created by Paraguay...
...impatient with convention. The whole age is impatient with convention, or what it understands by the term. Yet Professor Lowes' course in Nineteenth Century poetry remains paradoxically popular. Mr. Parson's book (his first, by the way) is dedicated to Mr. Lowes . . . "who, in an age of revolt, eloquently defends the beauty of convention."

But the House knew that all President Roosevelt really cared about was to keep the CCC going. And the full House Appropriations Committee, reportedly after telephone calls from the South, swiftly cancelled its subcommittee's action by restoring the half-billion Relief dollars...
...entire effectiveness of the Leftist Government has been in the series of compromises making it possible for a mixed salad of political parties to work in some sort of harmony. Immediately behind last week's Cabinet crisis was the brief Anarchist revolt in Barcelona of fortnight ago (TIME. May 17). Premier Largo Caballero and President Luis Companys of Catalonia are both secretly determined to put the Anarchists, most hot-headed of Leftist groups, in their places, but the Anarchists are politically potent. The mere possibility of an unfavorable Cabinet revision caused the Socialist . labor union, U.G.T.. to announce...
