...guidance, Ways and Researcher Manon Gaulin, daughter of a U.S. consular official, who knows France like a native after many years of residence and work there, got off a long cable explaining their view of the story and warning Paris that almost all the facts would have to come from there because the information available in the U.S. was of doubtful value...
...example of the kind of journalist it takes to do the kind of foreign political reporting you expect to get from TIME. He has an intimate knowledge of French politics; he also knows the American idiom. He spent his boyhood in San Francisco, where his father was a French consular official. He stayed there long enough to graduate from high school and to pick up an unquenchable enthusiasm for American baseball. He completed his education in England and France and, as a private in the French army, was evacuated from Dunkirk. Charles de Gaulle rescued him from sentry duty outside...
Everybody seemed to want a U.S. visa. In 14 U.S. consulates, from Halifax to Vancouver, hard-pressed clerks interviewed Canadians, laboriously filled out long forms, took fingerprints of prospective new Americans.

"Our neighbors," murmured a Peiping man, "do not appear to be governed by the established rules of civility...
Died. Boake Carter, 46, baleful-voiced, tendentious radioracle; of a heart attack; in Hollywood. Born in Baku, Russia (his parents were a British consular couple). Carter got his radio start in 1930 by covering a local rugby match (no other Philadelphia newsman understood the game). Listeners either loved or loathed his clipped, British-toned accent, his "cheerio" signature, his hyped-up, opinionated presentation of the news...
