The Governor of Puerto Rico and Mrs Munoz Say Goodby
To Their Sponsh Fortress Home for Visit in Washington

San Juan for three days last
week, says that in his opinion
Munoz Marin is one of the great
est men living. He echoes the
beliefs of many of the better U. S.
brains and of the Puerto Rican
people who chose him for their
first elected governor. A big man
in stature as well, his manner is
friendly, his laughter deep and
quick and his speech like that of
a U. S. resident who has lived
good part of his life in New York.
His very goodlooking wife has
extraordinary charm and under.
standing and shares with her
husband a deep and restless de-
sire to improve the living condi-
tions Of Puerto Rican families.
Constantly engaged in some prof.
ect to help them, she is currently
organizing an island-Wide effort
to provide rural areas with sewing
machine centers for self-help as
well as for increased home pro-.
ductivity.
Washing tonians will get a
chance to know them better in
the next three weeks. They are
due to arrive in the Capital to-
morrow and will stop at the May
flower Hotel. The governor is
coming up to ask for the right OF
Puerto Ricans to draft their own
constitution. It would be practi-
cally identical to the one they
now have but would remove
Soviet talking point that Puerto
Rico is a U. S. colony without
rights of her own.
They leave behind them the
shining, white, thick-walled
Spanish fortress that is their San
Juan residence. La Fortaleza,
with its beautiful gardens of trop-
ical plants, its turreted walls, Its
high. windswept terraces over,
looking the Bay of San Juan and
the Atlantic Ocean beyond, in
|corporates all the romance and
excitement Of Ponce de Icons
time. Lighted at night it looks
like q fairy castle rising straight
from the sea.
Midst the constant stream Of
important visitors here, near
case of mistaken identity occurred
the other morning. The COVER
nor's Office was notified by airline
officials that Mrs. Roosevelt would
be passing through en- route to
the Virgin Islands. A wire was
sent to Hyde Park to confirm the
report but the trip was denied
The airline insisted, however. that
they were carrying Mrs. r. The
whole thing was cleared UP, how
ever, before the plane arrived. It
was Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. jr.

SAN JUAN. P. R.-San Juan is
the crossroads of the Caribbean.
This centuries old Spanish city
under the American flag, and
glad of it, is constantly drawing
more and more people to its
beautiful island. They may, come
because it has a foreign flavor
and resort weather: they may be
attracted by the Governments s
financial encouragement to new

stopping en- route, or they may

who governs the island, Luis Mu-

Peggy 10 and her parents are in
conflict on proper hours for dates.
Their family is not the only one
in which the question is being de-
bated.
Parents don't seem to realize
that times have changed" Peggy
10 complains. Parties start later
than they used to. They are often
farther away so it takes longer to
get there.
"1f I have a good time at a
party, I want to stay longer. If !
haven't had a good time, I want
to go somewhere else after the
party and have a little more fun.
I can't always know when I'll get
home, and I think it's unreason-
able of parents to expect me to
know"
The chances are. Peggy 10, that
you'll be unreasonable. too, when
you are a parent! Let me suggest
a few steps to reduce the dis
agreement:
i. Talk it over at leisure some
time, in a family council. Don't
wait until you are leaving the
house.
Q. Try to work out q general
policy. School nights will Of
course be in a different class
from Friday and Saturday nights.
8. Be prepared to make some
compromise. For example, parents
would probably prefer that you do
not go out at all on school nights.

tage to get some of the more ma

trouble in Berlin could set off or

the military had wisely prepared
for the worst, it would seem by the
continued eastward trek to Europe
that most people have not given a
third war second thought.
Even Sir Alexander Cadogan,
retiring United Kingdom delegate
to the U. NJ, who has been sit
ting practically in the laps of the
U.S.S.R. representatives since 1916

nothing worse than peace. Other
wise he certainly would not have
taken an apartment at Salzburg

summer when the famous music
festival is held. Austria, with its
separate occupied zones, is about
as hot a spot as Germany. After
Lady Cadogan. who is a music
devotee and connoisseur, has been
stepped IN symphony for five
weeks, the British couple will &c
on to Kitzbuhel, which is in the
Austrian Tyrol. And these people
should be gup-shy - they were
bombed out of their London home
