...ships weighed anchor at Three Rivers, where they had been fogbound, and raced up the St. Lawrence River. A few hours later, flying Canadian Pacific's red & white checkered flag, the black-hulled, 10,000-ton cargo liner S.S. Beaverburn steamed into Montreal harbor and tied up at Shed 8. Her skipper, John Bissett Smith, had brought in the first ocean-going ship of the season, and thus officially opened Montreal harbor for 1947 business. For some 125 years, the master of the spring's first overseas ship has been given a gold-headed cane. Skipper Smith...

...easygoing President Ramón Grau San Martin, himself an Auténtico, at last moving to oust his political allies, the Communists, from the C.T.C., thus curb them as a political party? Some Auténtico leaders thought so. If that happened, the C.T.C. would probably shed its C.T.A.L. connections and hook up with the A.F.L-sponsored, right-wing Inter-American Federation of Labor. But smooth, well-tailored Don Vicente, back in his Mexican penthouse office, said "our relations with Grau are still cordial; he believes, as ever, in the ideals of the C.T.A.L...
