...first in peace and first in smacking down his countrymen. His propagandists boasted that Russia had fired the world's first successful intercontinental ballistic missile. His diplomats rejected President Eisenhower's disarmament plan on the ground that peace-loving Russia had already called for a ban on nuclear war. And in Moscow his press printed three stern private speeches delivered about the time of Khrushchev's recent power grab, all showing the Soviet boss talking and acting more and more like the Stalin he affects to deplore...
Tired Dr. Fry was pleased last week with the ten-day assembly's action in urging a ban on nuclear-weapon tests, voting to study the effects of mixed marriages with Roman Catholics and to strengthen Lutheran efforts in Latin America.

The Congressmen echoed the outrage of the Stephen Foster Memorial Commission of Florida (state song: Swanee River) on learning that the nation's TV and radio networks have put Foster's lyrics in tune with the race-conscious times by banning such words as "darkies," "mammy" and "massa." From Tallahassee, Governor LeRoy Collins cracked: "Let's not put the whammy on mammy." On the other hand, the networks' practice was defended as "good taste" by prominent Negroes, whose pressures helped produce the ban in the first place. The networks...
