...Quadrillage (cross-ruling), to carry out what Premier Guy Mollet calls "a policy of presence." Small garrisons of ten or more men will be set up at some 20,000 sensitive spots throughout the country-at bridges, crossroads, in villages. Quadrillage ties up enormous numbers of troops, but is intended to reassure the Europeans that they and their property will be protected, and to provide Moslems with a visible reminder that the French are in Algeria to stay. As soon as an area is pacified by quadrillage, the French hope to organize pilot, mixed elections as evidence of their good...
There was a guy working out in the Crimson infield yesterday who would be pretty fine to have in uniform this afternoon. An experienced shortstop and a fine clutch hitter, this ballplayer would go a long way toward solving some of the problems that confront Coach Norm Shepard...
Socialist Premier Guy Mollet is a Frenchman who seems so shy and timid that in World War II the Gestapo once let him go, after arresting him as a Resistance leader, because they could not believe he had the requisite tough qualities.

And as a Socialist, he had campaigned on a liberal program of "peace in Algeria," based on concessions and negotiations. Last week Lacoste flew back to Paris and threatened to resign unless the troops were forthcoming. Faced with the hard...
...notable job with old-line performers, spinning them to new popularity. In 1954 Capitol went out after Frank Sinatra, then dying on the vine, talked him into coming over, and launched the Sinatra revival. Since then it has made other "cold" artists real cool: Judy Garland, Benny Goodman, Guy Lombardo, Harry James, Fred Waring. Capitol's reward: 1955 sales soared 25% over 1954 to a record $21,308,633, and profits spiraled...
