Unidad National, Argentine underground newspaper, claimed that Vice President Juan Domingo Perón had made a secret agreement with Paraguay's militarists, looking toward a "total customs union" with Argentina. The manifesto was a hint that the Paraguayan people might have something to say about that. The move would reduce Paraguay to an Argentine dependency, tend to bolster her unpopular military government...
Plastic Wedding. The silicones are a new type of plastic-an unusual wedding of organic and inorganic chemistry. Organic plastics have poor resistance to heat and cold; at extreme temperatures they become brittle or soft. This fault is overcome in the silicones by replacing the carbon atoms in organic compounds with a much tougher combination of silicon (basic ingredient of sand) and oxygen. The result is a material combining the flexibility of plastics with great resistance to heat, water and air. Some silicones can withstand temperatures from 60 below zero Fahrenheit to 575 above...

The G.I.s were so starved for laughs that they would ignore any thing to see him open his famous trap...
