...oarsmen on their coaching staffs." Syracuse, Princeton, M. I. T. and the U. S. Naval Academy all have other than Washington-trained coaching staffs. Likewise to call the late Hiram B. Connibear a "grandfather" of U. S. crew racing is a little unfair to those men who promoted and took part in intercollegiate rowing long before Mr. Connibear went to Washington. That crew does owe much to Mr. Connibear and to the University of Washington in developing the "arm and leg" stroke, no oarsman will deny...
...Norway, a disowned and virtually impotent revolutionist, to be now the most important revolutionary extremist in the world. In 1933 Trotskyist followers in Russia, seeing the gradual abandonment of all plans for the world revolution by orthodox Stalinists, asked secretly for what they called the Fourth International.

To insure safety against claims by General Francisco Franco's Insurgents, much of that great sum was hidden in private accounts. Now it appears that partisans of the 'Free International' took advantage of that arrangement cleverly to utilize large amounts to finance activities having nothing in common with Spanish interests and contrary to the interests of Moscow...
Edward is no Bonnic Prince Charlie full of plots to upset the Government, nor has he shown any but the friendliest feelings toward the brother who took his place. Indeed his silence in Austria compared well with the subtle defamations uttered at conventions by Princes of the Church and with some of the books that rushed to market to capitalize on his misfortune. In return for his service to the Empire in the past and in appreciation of his conduct since abdication, it is not too much to hope that the Government will smile upon him as he prepares...
