...scholarly, libertarian Senator Theodore Francis Green last week returned to Washington with a warm appreciation of tropic hospitality. Along with New York's Republican Representative Hamilton Fish and Democratic Representative Matthew Merritt, Democrat Green was the guest last fortnight of the Dominican Republic's Generalissimo Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina. In Ciudad Trujillo (the General's new name for the venerable city of Santo Domingo), the U. S. delegation looked upon 1) a box (which remained unopened) containing a tiny heap of bone & dust billed as the true "last parts" of Christopher Columbus, and 2) the charm...
Among other claimants to the remains of the Great Discoverer are Seville, Spain, and Genoa, Italy. Many historians now agree with Trujillo that Seville's claims have been severely shaken. To Genoa's claims, little attention is paid. In company with Mrs. Fish and the Fish's 13-year-old son, Hammy, and dignitaries of Church & State, the U. S. Congressmen were feted, shown about spick & span Ciudad Trujillo, finally were invited to the Cathedral to view their host's Columbian relics...
...time rumrunner was Captain Bill ("The Real") McCoy, now living in West Palm Beach, Fla. where he owns an apartment house and builds boats with his brother Ben. He announced last week that in 1934 he had been commissioned by one P. D. Pina Chevalier, an uncle of President Trujillo Molina of the Dominican Republic, to design a $20,000 all-mahogany schooner as a Dominican gift to Franklin Roosevelt.

Last January, President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, for seven years hard-hitting dictator of the Dominican Republic, announced he was retiring to "private life," that he would not be a candidate for reelection. That Dictator Trujillo was not going to be any less a dictator in "private life," however, was evident when he nominated loyal Henchman Dr. Jacinto B. Peynado as his successor. Just where Boss Trujillo stands in his henchman's estimation is evident from the neon sign which glitters on the front of Peynado's home. It reads: GOD AND TRUJILLO. Says President-elect Peynado...
Twice postponed, the goodwill squadron had finally lined up at Ciudad Trujillo, on the exact spot where Columbus is believed to have landed, to a farewell blessing from the Dominican Republic's wordy, despotic Dictator-President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina-who among other activities in the past seven years changed the name of America's most ancient city from San Domingo to his own. The Dominican airplane, a single-motored, 450-h. p. Curtiss-Wright 19R, piloted by the nation's Army Air Commander Major Frank Felix Miranda, was named the Colon, Spanish version of Columbus...
