...afternoon before he flew to Europe, President Eisenhower thoughtfully drew a State Department policy paper out of the ''urgent study" pile on his desk. Its contents: a report on the Communist guerrilla bands swarming antlike out of Red China's puppet state of North Viet Nam into the Utah-sized nation of Laos (see FOREIGN NEWS). This "very dangerous" situation signaled the revival of full-scale guerrilla warfare in Indo-China for the first time since Red China agreed at Geneva in 1954 to stop it. The President, approving State's recommendations, cranked up machinery...
After a two-week lull, the Communists were on the offensive again. Only 3,500 strong, but well-equipped and highly trained, the Reds seemed well on the way to taking over Laos' important northern provinces. Phongsaly, which borders directly on both China and North Viet Nam, was heavily penetrated.

The gospel hymn is a Victorian development-sentimental and good for nothing. Its message is that everything is blessed and peaceful. That...
...Stockholm a much more impressive haul from China sat in a customs shed. It was a treasure hoard picked up in Peking by Nils Nessim, 43, a Swedish carpet dealer and importer. On a previous trip to Red China last year he had bought only modern carpets, ivory and porcelain. This time, taken down winding Peking streets to out-of-the-way antique shops, Nessim said he had stumbled onto a marvelous bronze figure of a six-armed, three-faced god crowned with a headdress of flames, excitedly asked if he might buy it. Told that he might, Nessim realized...
