...hard warnings got and deserved the headlines, the President made pleas for peaceful negotiation his first and last points. "Traditionally this country and its Government have always been passionately devoted to peace with honor," said he. Later, he spoke hopefully of the meetings in Warsaw, where U.S. Ambassador Jacob Beam was preparing for Quemoy negotiations with Red Chinese Ambassador Wang Ping-nan this week. If the bilateral talks fail, said Eisenhower, "there is still the hope that the United Nations could exert a peaceful influence...
When Dwight Eisenhower proclaimed his tough "no appeasement" principle (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), most NATO and SEATO members dutifully applauded. But the heartfelt cheers came when Ike reiterated U.S. willingness to negotiate, and the State Department announced that U.S. Ambassador Jacob Beam and Red China's urbane Wang Ping-nan would meet in Warsaw's 18th century Myslewiki Palace at the beginning of this week...
News reports of Chou's offer reached the White House just before the President flew into Washington for the day from Newport. After a two-hour luncheon session with all available National Security Council members, he and Dulles drafted a reply. Jacob Beam, U.S. Ambassador to Warsaw, was available to reopen talks with his Chinese opposite number, they wrote.

...welcome word: visibility at the island was four miles, with scattered clouds at 12,000 ft. Burnham zeroed in on Nantucket-and ran into one of the island's murky flash fogs, rolling in from the sea with bewildering speed.

With its field socked in, Nantucket tried to warn the Convair by voice radio-and could not reach it. Flight 258 came in for its landing, flying low over scrub pines. It plowed into the ground...
Triton is the largest submarine ever launched. She displaces 5,850 tons, measures 447½ ft. in length and 37 ft. at the beam, carries two nuclear reactors and a crew of 148, can make a zippy 30 surface knots. By comparison the Nautilus, first U.S. nuclear sub, displaces 2,980 tons, is 300 ft. long, has a 28-ft. beam, one reactor. The Triton, in fact, is not much smaller and slower than a light cruiser of the U.S.'s San Diego class...
