...real chance now. The French, unlike a year ago, are now going strong. For one thing, they're eating better-self-sufficiency in food is a priceless advantage in the current crisis. They may have more Communist trouble, but it looks like they will be able to take care of it. The Dutch, too, are on the road back -when even conservative Dutch officialdom admits that things are better, they're better...
...added the fact that most Italians simply did not believe that De Gasperi's government was implicated in Pallante's stupid crime. In a message from Moscow, where the protection of bigwigs is a highly developed science, Premier Stalin rebuked his Italian satraps for not taking better care of Togliatti.

Under previous schemes, 22,200,000 low-income people were en titled to free care; they were joined now by 14,500,000 more, a total of 36,700,000 out of a population of 41,460,000 in Eng land and Wales. (Separate but similar schemes started at the same time in Scot land and Northern Ireland.) Said one gleeful patient: "I've been paying my doctor ten shillings sixpence ($2.10) per visit twice a week.
