DAVE BECK sought a foxhole and dug his grave. To invoke the Fifth Amendment does not warrant an automatic presumption of law violation. But the purpose of the amendment is to save a man's neck, not his reputation. Mr. Beck's action could not save him from the disgrace of running to cover behind a personal shield when the management of his union is under grave attack. The truth is that Mr. Beck is in a predicament in which silence may be even more damaging than candor would have been...
...France, now as in the 1930s or the days of the 1871 Commune, is the emergence of the mobs. Into the Champs Elysées they came one afternoon last week, 5,000 youths, war veterans and rightist sympathizers. After a small group had placed a wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier under the Arc de Triomphe, they crowded toward the office of the weekly L'Express, which has been attacking French army excesses in Algeria (TIME, April 1).

Her poignant, posthumously published and dramatized diary became a hit play in scores of German cities as well as in the U.S. She herself, dead at 15, lies buried in a mass grave at Belsen, 50 miles south of Hamburg, where some 25,000 of her fellow Jews died in the last two years of Hitler's war. In the cold drizzle of a wintry Sunday morning last week, some 1,500 young Germans journeyed out to Belsen to lay flowers...
...grave classroom shortage is one of the chief reasons educators are requesting federal aid to school construction. Public school enrollment is growing at the rate of one million pupils a year and, because states are unable to increase construction proportionally, many schools must choose between hopeless overcrowding and shortened double sessions. Federal aid would help state educators to catch up with the birth rate, and would leave some state funds for much needed increases in teachers' salaries...
