...conference," he said, "might be opportune to launch the Operation in due course, after full discussion and preparation." Their final agreement: Brazil and the U.S. will sound out the other 19 republics in the hemisphere, and, if acceptable, set up a working group in Washington by late September to draw up an outline development program; any meeting of Presidents would follow later. With that settled, Dulles and Kubitschek took time out to pose for pictures...
Most of the time, Paar is merely a good listener with a knack of asking the right questions.

...Bravados (20th Century-Fox) is a western that attempts to draw a useful moral, but it is just too goldurn slow (98 minutes) on the draw. The hero (Gregory Peck) is a ranchman who hunts down and kills three men for the rape and murder of his wife, only to discover that the men did not commit the crime. To make matters worse, the killings have made him a hero to the whole district...
