...Oldest Profession. Ann quickly learns that Rainier, an incorrigible idealist, is about to ship for Korea to fight Communism, and that she has a redoubtable rival: "l'humanité...the last femme fatale." For though her lover bursts with poetic talk about keeping her happy, he is committed to "man's oldest profession, which is to be forever reaching for some distant goal of Justice and Liberty...
Peking radio promptly dismissed the list as a "fake." But three days later, U.N. suspicions were confirmed. Australian-born Wilfred Burchett, correspondent for the French Communist paper, L'Humanité, wandered into Panmunjon to chat with U.N. correspondents. Communist Burchett, whom many U.S. newsmen remembered as a competent reporter for Australian Associated Press during the Pacific war, had previously acted as a news "leak" for the Communists. This time, he carefully let slip the fact that the Chinese were still holding an unspecified number of U.S. airmen who had allegedly been shot down over Chinese territory beyond the Yalu...

Joe Starobin, a U.S. citizen who went abroad more...
...Floundering Days. Poor navigation was threatening to wreck the French Communist Party. Since the buoyant days of 1946, 1) party membership has been almost halved; 2) Communist support in the powerful C.G.T. labor organization is only a quarter of what it was; 3) the circulation of L'Humanité is down two-thirds; Ce Soir and half a dozen provincial dailies have folded. The party still has an elite of probably 30,000 hard-core Communists, but the rank & file have been gravely affected by the Moscow damning of two of their great heroes: Old Communist Andre Marty...
