...Stuart Barton Babbage, Anglican Dean of 70-year-old St. Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne, Australia, has his own formula for filling the tent. He plastered the crypt of the cathedral with gaudy record jackets, set candles in wine bottles on checkered tableclothes, and ran an ad in the newspapers: ANY CRAZY CAT IS WELCOME TO CREEP DOWN TO OUR CRYPT FOR COFFEE AND CRUMPETS. Instead of the 100-odd he expected the first Sunday night, more than 500 youngsters crushed in at 15? a head. Dean Babbage was happily laying plans last week for an espresso machine...
Appropriately, this week's cover story, written by Bruce Barton Jr., concerns one of the world's best-as well as one of the most inaccessible-architects, the man who calls himself Corbusier. His well-known testiness inside the trade applies doubly to journalists, and TIME correspondents had to chase him halfway around the world, beginning in India, where he was abruptly unhelpful, and ending in Paris, where he at last consented to be interviewed in French by TIME Correspondent Israel Shenker.

The report accused Barton of belonging to the N.A.A.C.P. (which he does not) and of leading sit-in demonstrations in Atlanta (he helped cover one for the Journal). Last week...
...Barton case revelations were clearly too much for many a confirmed segregationist to swallow. State Representative Philip Bryant damned the commission as a "private Gestapo." The influential Jackson State Times asked editorially: "Has the State Sovereignty Commission developed into a secret police organization? What right has the commission to maintain files on any Mississippian?" Suddenly aware that what could happen to Barton could happen to them, more and more Mississippians seemed to be agreeing with I. H. Howell, editor of the Batesville Panolian. "When they organized the Sovereignty Commission,", he said, "I had no kick. But when they start having...
