Your article on the International Trade Fair at Poznan painted the American participation as a great success. To an impartial observer, it seems that U.S. propaganda against Communism may be called "consumer-goods propaganda" because it is based on the endless repetition of the affirmation of high American living standards. This is like the rich man's bragging about his richness before poor people who can never become rich. What the people behind the Iron Curtain really need is for the U.S. to get rid of the Communist yoke-and not an exhibition of U.S. consumer goods...
...Japan, Soldier Girard telephoned his mother in Ottawa, Ill. to tell her: "Don't cry. I know I'll get a fair trial." He believed he would be acquitted by the Japanese court (presumably on a showing of accident). Maebashi District Judge Yuzo Kawachi, who will preside over Girard's trial, said the decision was "just what I expected-very good." In a banner-headline story, Tokyo's Asahi Evening News reported: "At no time since the signing of the San Francisco peace treaty have Japanese thought so kindly of the U.S. and the American ideal...
Charles Dameron protested. Replied the league's executive secretary, Elizabeth O'Malley: "Dori is a very bright child who is going to make great demands on the Damerons in every way, financially and otherwise.

...Flop. In only one business venture-the tourist trade-has the dictator proved a flop. He spent $25 million erecting a gigantic "International Fair for Peace and Progress," opened the doors for business only three months before the Galindez kidnaping. The strongman was splashed with a storm of bad notices unequaled since he ordered the massacre of 15,000 Haitian migrant farm workers in 1937. As he steadily blocked FBI investigation of the double crime, magazines, newspapers, radio networks and U.S. Congressmen denounced him. The tourist traffic jerked to a halt...
Though for 25 years bustling Lima, Ohio (pop. 55,700) had supported only one newspaper, a second daily was born there last week and thousands cheered. Reason: Limaites had come to hate their longtime standby, the Lima News. The News was long regarded as a forward-looking, studiously fair paper, and it was seldom, if ever, attacked for abusing its monopoly position in Lima (pronounced as in Lima bean). But people started changing their minds about the News in February 1956, when the family-owned paper was sold to Raymond Cyrus Hoiles (TIME, Dec. 31, 1951) and his Freedom Newspapers...
