Around the blue baize table in London's gloomy Lancaster House, the Western Big Three Foreign Ministers conferred for three days. Dean Acheson, crisp, clear and didactic, drove home his sharp points with a wagging forefinger. Britain's ailing Ernest Bevin, chomping away at his dentures, was his usual solid and grumpy self. France's Robert Schuman punctuated his speeches with faint smiles and exquisite little gestures of courtesy; he sat modestly hunched over the table, as if he were the least important man in the room...
From the Dreamers' Realm. Dean Acheson had gone to London haunted by the feeling that the West had to do something-but he did not know just what. Ernie Bevin was not in the mood to do anything. For nearly two years, the U.S. had insistently told Western Europe that it must integrate economically-and perhaps politically. For nearly two years, the British had quietly blocked all moves toward genuine integration-partly because Britain's Socialist government wanted nothing to do with the non-socialist economies on the Continent.

Then France's Foreign Minister Robert Schuman would join them for three-way discussions. Later, Acheson would meet with representatives of the nine other North Atlantic signatories...
Another change is that men who lived in a particular room this year did not retain squatters rights in new assignments, as they had previously. Bevin said the applications were divided about evenly between the five new Graduate Center dormitories and Hastings Hall. Incoming students have received room application blanks by mail. There will be approximately 250 spaces open to them...
Western leaders had been stressing the political importance of keeping Germany in our sphere of influence and the nation's economic importance to European recovery. But Ernest Bevin stated that there would not be "a lot of courting of Germany to get them in" the Council. Adenauer, however, announced three conditions the Allies must accept before West Germany would consider entering. They were: 1) that a formal invitation to join be sent to the Bonn Parliament; 2) that the Saar issue be reviewed in the final peace treaty; 3) that West Germany have an observer on the Council's Committee...
