...Radio patrol jeeps sped back and forth. A walkie-talkie crackled: "Hello Defiance, this is Crossroads Six." A crowd began gathering a block east of the school, where "Roadblock Alpha" had been thrown up at an intersection. Major James Meyers, a thin, hard man with the glint of a hawk in his eyes, ordered up a sound truck. "Please return to your homes," said he, "or it will be necessary for us to disperse...

From the steps of the state capitol Frederick John Kasper, 27, the tall, hawk-faced agitator from Camden, N.J., began to whip up the crowd. "The Constitution of the U.S. gives you the right to carry arms," he said. "If one of these niggers pulls a razor or a gun on us, we'll give it to 'em . . .

...Maunoury, a Resistance hero, is the center of the tough and unyielding French position on Algeria. So far, it is the dominant one in French politics. But more and more Frenchmen are beginning to talk more openly about "solutions" for Algeria.

In a slim book, The Algerian Tragedy, published last week and an immediate sensation in Paris, Aron argues that only false pride prevents Frenchmen from recognizing Algeria's "vocation" for independence...

...bitter interservice fracas on U.S. missile dominance. Against Atlas' crash and the Air Force's bug-ridden 1,500-mile Thor missile, the Army touted its own relatively successful 1,500-mile Jupiter (TIME, June 10) and the new low-level-surf ace-to-air Hawk, made its boldest pitch yet for operational control of intermediate-range missilery (1,500 miles) now assigned to the Air Force...
