Hopefully, one by-product of the shipment of weapons will be a revitalizaed French approach to the Algerian problems. Already Gaillard and Pineau have taken a significant step forward in introducing a bill for limited Algerian autonomy into the Chamber of Deputies. Only the French could be so perverse as to defeat such a bill twice in a row. The best hope for peace in North Africa is a program of gradual independence under the sponsorship and with the guidance of France.

...Christmas disk has somewhat better surfaces, and the same almost matchless quality of choral singing. The assortment of short pieces has more variety than the mass, and gives the HGC-RCS the chance to display considerable breadth of technique.

Adeste Fidelis is included, but so is a very simple and fine carol by one John Billings, called A Virgin Unspotted.

Sidi Slimane's alert force met its deadline...

Secretary Dulles' for midable unpopularity may prove a hindrance to such tactics, but hopefully, need not be an insurmountable obstacle...
