...deal of joggling, which gave the situation its most unreal quality. From the Orient, Tennessee's Estes Kefauver sent back word that he had not yet made up his mind-an announcement that most observers took as another indication that he is already racing. Adlai Stevenson, continuing to insist that he has not decided whether to run, stepped out and made his first major political speech of the season. Averell Harriman, who has said that he is not running, was the guest of honor at a big political rally in his own back yard at Albany. At that rally...
Algeria is the heart and core of French North Africa, the home of 1,000,000 Frenchmen, a region enriched by billions in French investments and subsidies. Its land and its 8,000,000 Moslem natives, the French insist, have been integrated into the French nation on a basis of equality. But the statistics (e.g., average income of an Algerian Moslem family is about one-eighth that of a mainland French family), as well as the vast majority of Algerian natives, disagree. In recent months the disagreement has taken the form of violent nationalist resistance and bloody French reprisals...
Nasser, no Communist, gave his reasons for taking such a risky course. "We insist.'' he said, "on securing arms for our army to safeguard our revolution and our independence, and to preserve our dignity.''

It enables Israel to move in and out of the demilitarized border zone of El Auja with impunity, as it did last week, and it gives...
More important, CAB is now considering giving nonscheduled airlines a big lift. Though the big scheduled carriers insist that the nonskeds be knocked out of the air, CAB feels that they have proved their worth by pioneering cut-rate flying. In an initial decision, which the full board will probably follow, a CAB examiner recommended that 27 of the weakest nonskeds be eliminated, but that the 33 survivors be permanently certified for a specific number of scheduled passenger flights (possibly ten) each month, plus an unlimited number of nonscheduled flights...
...import quota was originally set by a presidential Cabinet Committee in February; at that time it was ruled that imports should not exceed the level of 1954, when they accounted for 16.6% of total U.S. production. The big companies did not agree with the Cabinet ruling, but they insist that they have held the line. They argue that it is smaller companies that have pushed up imports of crude oil to nearly 15% above the 1954 level...
