The proposal: let Tokyo-born Cinemactress Olivia de Havilland, wife of Paris Journalist Pierre Galante, keep her U.S. citizenship without spending at least 18 months of every five years in the U.S., as must all naturalized Americans.

Pancake Baker. An automatic pancake baker designed to keep up with children's breakfast appetites has been developed by New York City's Polarad Electronics Corp.* A hopper at the top holds the batter, releases enough for one pancake at a time to an electrically heated griddle.
