From June 15 to September 15 this year, 50,000 people will visit Glacier, 150,000 will see Yellowstone. More than twice that many will go to the nation's most popular park, Yosemite, where Director Cammerer was due this week. Main gateway to the Yosemite is Merced, in central California.

Since 1931 Felix Warburg's wisecracking Son Frederick, Otto Kahn's twice-married Son Gilbert, have been members of the firm. And Jacob Schiff's Grandson John, only 26 years old, became a partner, succeeding soon afterward to the large interest in the firm held by his father, the late Mortimer. Another partner is Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss (pronounced Straws...
