...headlines over Thomasville, Ga. datelines last week during what longtime White House reporters deemed the most baffling of all Dwight Eisenhower's presidential weeks. Reason for bafflement : for the first time no one even tried to keep up the appearance that the vacationing President was in daily command of U.S. affairs...
Harold Stassen's future as presidential disarmament adviser had been behind him for weeks, but nonetheless he and President Eisenhower went warmly through the formalities of a Washington leave-taking last week. In a phone call to the President's retreat in Thomasville, Ga., Stassen told Ike that at long, long last he had decided to leave the Administration to run for governor of Pennsylvania.* Stassen followed up the call with a formal letter of resignation, received a genuinely warm reply: "In the important posts to which you have been assigned, I have been most appreciative of your...
Last week the South had barely brushed itself off from a freeze and a light snow-which, among other things, broke up a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans and drove vacationing President Eisenhower indoors at Thomasville, Ga.-when a violent new storm boiled up off the Louisiana coast. Mixing its Gulf moisture with the cold arctic air, it swept north and east, dumping the season's heaviest snowfall from Jackson, Miss, on up into Maine.

(pop. 7,562) enjoys two advantages: 1) it straddles the Flint River, 105 miles from the Gulf of Mexico; 2) it is the home town of Georgia's frog-voiced Governor S. (for Samuel) Marvin Griffin. Last week a state senate investigating committee complained that Bainbridge's home-town boy has been doing too much in trying to overcome nature's oversights. The Griffin administration has spent half a million dollars for a 400-ft. pier, a transit shed and sulphur unloading facilities. And along with brother Cheney Griffin...
From a drafty shack with primitive plumbing in a shabby section of Cedartown, Ga., Lee Cantrell, 35, last week joyfully moved his wife and two children into a brand-new modern house. Yet Cantrell, a $2,350-a-year clerk who had been living in the only place he could afford, will pay only $23 a month plus utilities, less rent than he paid for his shack. Reason: the new house is one of 13 newly scattered through Cedartown (pop. 10,000) under the first such Government experiment in the U.S. The results may bring a great change in planning...
