There were a few demurrers. Russia's Gromyko, complaining that the resolution did not call for "immediate withdrawal" of U.S. and British troops, threatened to reopen the debate at the next regular Assembly session (Sept. 16). From the Israelis came the bitter complaint that "This makes the Middle East's prime troublemakers-Nasser and the Arab League -into its policemen." But in the last analysis, nobody wanted to go on record as opposing an Arab solution to Arab problems, and when it came to a vote the resolution passed...
Olivier Dubos was no more eager than any other young French reservist to be called back to the service and sent to Algeria. A towering, 35-year-old reserve lieutenant who held the Croix de guerre for World War II gallantry, Lieut.

...Chlorine focus narrowly on their subjects, show only a pair of hands-those of Phillips Academy (Andover) Chemistry Master Elbert Weaver -performing experiments. Explanations are amplified by animated drawings showing molecular action. Weaver's scripts are tough enough to keep students out of that double-feature daze, call for as much attention as a classroom lecture. The films present no chemical formulae and do not show a periodic table-these can be handled better by textbooks and classroom charts. The Manufacturing Chemists' Association, which commissioned the films (cost: $20,000 each), will distribute them through nonprofit rentals this...
Stacked Plane. In Hialeah, Fla., Charles R. Morris, who reportedly made a $100 bet with a man in a Hialeah bar that the plane the man was about to catch would be late taking off, was arrested for making a hoax phone call to Eastern Air Lines reporting a bomb on the aircraft...
