...Washington to discuss trade, money, Dictators and armaments was Brazil's Foreign Minister, Dr. Oswaldo Aranha, onetime (1934-38) Ambassador to the U. S. Secretary Hull had a bug, too, but omnipresent Under-Secretary of State Sumner Welles took good care of Dr. Aranha. The Navy's impending war game emphasized Brazil's importance in a war involving "hemisphere defense" (see p. 12), and Dr. Aranha stated that in any "international civil war," Brazil would be on the U. S. side, "Absolutely!" His major contribution to U. S. news columns was that the "old" Germans in Brazil...

Last week, however, France thought the time had come to begin a series of diplomatic flirtations if not an actual marriage.

His trip, he and the French Foreign Office said, was unofficial, but there was no doubt that he had been sent by Premier Edouard Daladier's Government to sound...
Last week, while Hialeah was going full blast, a third track, Gulfstream Park, opened at seaside Hollywood, 15 miles north of downtown Miami. Its owner, wee-mustached, dimpled Jack Horning, 28-year-old heir to a Pittsburgh steel fortune, had never intended to own a racetrack. A contractor by trade, he had seen only three horse races in his life when he was hired by Promoter Joe Smoot last winter to build a racing plant on 190 acres of marshland...
