...members of the lynch mob were named by the FBI in a report to Governor James P. Coleman, who had called the G-men into the case. But the 378-page dossier, said Pearl River District Attorney Vernon Broom last week, was mostly "hearsay." The grand jury did not even get to see the FBI findings. Leaving the case "unsolved," the grand jury thanked Judge Dale for his "inspired charge," declared that "from the standpoint of citizenship and law enforcement, our county compares favorably with any in the world...
Tsarapkin's "concession," hedged with qualifications, came at the 132nd session in Geneva. Such inchworm progress has been characteristic of all postwar disarmament negotiations. In 14 years of dickering so complex that even the participants have trouble keeping the record straight, East and West have achieved only one concrete measure-a temporary suspension of nuclear testing, which expires, so far as the U.S. is concerned, Dec. 31. The U.S. is talking about resuming underground tests. And France made clear last week at the U.N. that unless "the first three atomic powers renounce their nuclear armament," it intends to explode...

...grandiose gesture made at the U.N. by Khrushchev. It will come as heads of state re-examine positions on nuclear tests so laboriously discussed at Geneva-the possibility of agreeing on an international inspection system that could lead to the reduction of armaments, step by conditional step. Even such arms control (as opposed to disarmament) will not be ensured in a single summit session...
