...fill the gap is Norman Smith, 61, longtime labor organizer who helped in the tough job of unionizing the auto industry. Covering 50,000 miles in twelve months as he motored up and down the valley, Smith set up leadership-training classes in seven towns, gradually enlisted a hard core of unionists. Then he got a big break from an unexpected quarter: a wealthy Republican rancher named Fred Van Dyke. While running unsuccessfully for Congress in 1958, Van Dyke was shocked by what he found out about the life of the farm workers. He made an unwritten deal with Smith...
...Assassins!" Into a tiny military courtroom shuffled ten hard-core Communists, held for three years without trial on charges of conspiring with the rebels and secretly reconstituting the banned Communist Party. Prominent among them: Journalist Henri Alleg, 39, author of the international bestseller, The Question (TIME, June 9, 1958), a surreptitiously written and smuggled-out account of the tortures that he suffered at the hands of paratroops of General Jacques Massu's 20th Division. Conspicuously missing was an eleventh defendant: Communist Maurice Audin, a mathematics professor in whose home Alleg was captured in 1957. French authorities say he escaped...

...first to speak was Florida A. & M. College Student Barbara Broxton, 20, released from jail a fortnight ago after serving 48 days on a trespassing conviction arising from a sit-in at a Woolworth lunch counter in Tallahassee. Brought to the meeting by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Barbara said: "I speak for the Southern students. We will fight because we are right. I've been in jail, and I'm willing to go back if necessary." The Rev. Thomas Carlisle, pastor of Watertown's Stone Street Presbyterian Church, read a petition, signed by 14 local...
...behind the demonstrations at both meetings is James Peck, 45, editor of CORE'S Corelator. Despite his two latest setbacks, Peck believes that attending company meetings produces results, says his pleas helped to cause W. T. Grant to open its lunch counters in Baltimore to Negroes and Greyhound to end segregated bus seating. "I attended Greyhound annual meetings for nine years straight," says Peck. "Finally, we won." Even before the demonstrations last week, both Kress and Woolworth had stopped excluding Negroes from lunch counters in San Antonio, Galveston and Nashville. Kress has desegregated in Austin. Negotiations to desegregate...
