Into New York harbor last week sailed the first entire shipload of refugees to enter the U.S. under the Refugee Relief Act of 1953. "We come with gratitude," said Hans Freer, 34, one of 1,243 refugees aboard the chartered U.S. Navy transport General Langfitt. Freer's arrival with his family amounted to a near miracle of deliverance : his wife had been a Soviet slave laborer, he was buffeted about Europe by Nazis and Communists for 15 years, and for a time it seemed unlikely that many refugees would ever reach the U.S. under the 1953 relief act.

...Midway was "a victory of intelligence." They have practically nothing good to say for their leaders' performance. They find the Imperial Navy's intelligence "ineffective." its plan "faulty," its technology backward (only the U.S. had radar at Midway), its security procedures far slacker than before the Pearl Harbor attack. In the first week of June 1942, they say, all Japanese suffered from the "Victory Disease." The U.S. never allowed the Japanese generals and admirals the chance to recover from the consequences of that illness. After Midway, Japan fought no longer for victory but for a negotiated peace...
