...little (5 ft.1 in., but "please don't call me tiny") U.S. District Judge Ronald Norwood Davies. who came temporarily from Fargo, N. Dak. to preside over the Eastern District of Arkansas. To report on the life and times of Judge Davies, TIME Chicago Correspondent Ed Darby flew to wind-blown North Dakota (his plane was grounded on the way to Grand Forks when a door flew open in mid-air). And one night, done with work for a while. Ronald Davies sat shirtsleeved in his Little Rock chambers, talked long and thoughtfully to Chicago Bureau Correspondents Jack Olsen...
...Congressman Brooks Hays, who had engineered the Newport meeting with President Eisenhower in all good faith, worked tirelessly on Faubus. Said Mrs. Hays: "Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and find Brooks wide awake, thinking things out." Said Hays: "I felt like the sparrow that flew into the badminton game." Hays spent two hours with Faubus on Monday, four more on Tuesday, three on Wednesday and one on Thursday...
...Force Captain George H. French of Mount Vernon, N.Y. had two consuming passions-flying and gambling. As a bombardier-navigator, French was skillful and courageous: during World War II, slim, alert Airman French flew 35 missions in B-17s, in Korea he logged five more missions in B-29s.

They had been urged back together at an unusual assemblage of 150 top Indonesian leaders-including rebel colonels from the hill-all worried by the political disintegration of their country (TIME, Sept. 23). Basking in the joys of reconciliation, Hatta and Sukarno flew off together to "Indonesia's Arlington Cemetery" in Djokjakarta to purge their souls of rancor at the grave of General Sudirman, military hero of the revolt against the Dutch. For the first time since his resignation as Vice President last December, Hatta accepted a social invitation to the presidential...
...that State's Office of Transport and Communications, the branch responsible for working out air agreements, is dispensing U.S. routes to foreign operators with far too lavish a hand, and getting little-or nothing-in return. The cumulative effect, say the lines, is that while U.S.-flag carriers flew 80% of all transatlantic traffic in 1947, today they account for slightly less than 50%, even though almost 70% of all passengers are U.S. citizens...
