...Frederick Arthur Schoenfeld from Bulgaria to Costa Rica. Four career secretaries were advanced to their first full envoyships when Julius Garecke Lay was named Minister to Honduras, Matthew Elting Hanna to Nicaragua, Post Wheeler to Paraguay, Charles Boyd Curtis to Santo Domingo. Known as "bright young men" about the State Department, all seven are glib in Spanish...
Secretary of State Henry Lewis Stimson last week showed the perfectly normal reaction of a U. S. statesman who has been called "unfriendly."

Like his predecessor a wealthy sheep rancher, Senator Sullivan grew up with the West, prospered with its oil. He lives at Casper in the State's finest mansion. Plain, bighearted, full of fight or banter, Irishman Sullivan was undisturbed by reports that the Senate might question his right to membership because of a quirk juggled into the Wyoming law by a Republican legislature to prevent one-time (1925-27) Governor Nellie Tayloe Ross from appointing...
