...scenes, the U.S. was exerting major efforts to contain the struggle. By recognizing Sallal's republican regime last month, Washington had delighted Egypt's Nasser and offended Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Now Washington hoped to deter Nasser and reassure Hussein and Saud by sending the U.S. destroyer Forrest Sherman on a "routine" visit to the Saudi seaport of Jidda-the hoary political device that hints of force. And, though it was laconically denied in Washington, sources in the Middle East insist that the U.S. has agreed to a Saudi request that antiaircraft batteries and radar-control equipment...
...Yorktown (the first carrier Yorktown went down in June 1942). He then held down an assortment of desk jobs in postwar Washington, and in 1950 was named operations officer of the Sixth Fleet. That same year, General Eisenhower, who was setting up his SHAPE headquarters in Paris, wired CNO Forrest Sherman: SEND ME THE SMART EST NAVAL AVIATOR YOU'VE GOT. Ike got Anderson, made him senior U.S. officer for plans and operations...
...methods of making sure that their luck will be tough are unchanging: economic and physical intimidation; registrars who are chronically unsatisfied with the way a Negro interprets the state constitution or completes a registration blank. A registrar in Forrest County, Miss., found five college graduates illiterate.

...Mystery. After the sky-stabbing record flight last week, four Xis pilots -White. Walker, North American's Scott Crossfield and Navy Commander Forrest Petersen-journeyed to Washington, where President Kennedy gave them the Robert J. Collier Trophy, presented annually since 1911 for outstanding achievement in flight. But for White and his fellow X-15 pilots, the greatest reward for their work is the satisfaction of probing the mysteries inside the sky. In last week's flight Bob White found a new mystery for scientists to puzzle over: through the X-15's thick left quartz window...
Wrong, as Usual. Not everybody-for down South, Negroes are still being denied the right to vote. In Forrest County, Miss., the Rev. John Miles Barnes, a Negro with a tenth-grade education, who has tried to register several times a year for the past eleven years, tried again last week. He failed. Voting Registrar Theron C. Lynd, who has already been cited for contempt for failing to obey a federal court order, asked Barnes to copy and interpret a section of the Mississippi constitution. Lynd was, as usual, dissatisfied with the result. According to the Justice Department, other Negroes...
