...four hours the ministers talked in the 90° heat. De Gaulle seemed to have decided on a plan, but gave his colleagues no inkling of what it was. Instead, he polled their views. A small group was for a harsh, unrelenting continuation of the war until Algeria could be integrated with France. At least three "liberals" urged independence for Algeria, even if it meant negotiating with the F.L.N. terrorists. But by far the greatest number of the 18 ministers favored the third alternative De Gaulle had put before them: an entirely new juridical status for Algeria, to be submitted...
...Southwark's Bishop Mervyn Stockwood (who caused a ripple of censure himself when he arrived in Southwark wearing a bow tie) heard of the popish goings-on at St. Andrew's and called Anglican Harris on the carpet. Yes, said the priest, he celebrated the Roman Mass instead of Anglican Communion (and included a prayer for the Pope as "Head of the Church"). Yes, he had celebrated the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary-not recognized by the Church of England. In fact, said Harris, he deplored the Reformation and felt no loyalty to the post...
...bell, Fullmer began to show a bewildering set of new tactics: in business as a Pier Six battler, he had turned Fancy Dan. Instead of ducking his head and plowing in, Fullmer danced tantalizingly beyond the reach of Basilio's deadly left hook. When Basilio swung, Fullmer countered with deft precision. When Basilio crowded him into a corner, Fullmer calmly retreated into a cocoon of arms and shoulders, then emerged to give better than he got. When Basilio clinched, Fullmer wrestled him about as he pleased and tossed in an occasional elbow for old time's sake...
There was none of the improvised Dixieland so familiar to festivals; nor were there many personal appearances by such great solo showmen as "Satchmo" Armstrong or Gene Krupa. Instead, classics-minded young jazzmen concentrated on the brassy new progressive jazz and the slightly atonal West Coast styles, and played their well-rehearsed arrangements with the cool elegance of conservatory students. Even Stan Kenton's 18-piece (including bongo drums) orchestra had its own smooth brand of progressive beat. But the real stars of the festival were the small, intimate combos that played jazz with a new maturity and subtlety...
...same time, banks find themselves with relatively less money to lend. In the nation's mutual savings banks, total deposits rose $585 million in the first six months this year to $34.6 billion -but the growth during the same period last year was $1.3 billion. Instead of putting and keeping their money in savings accounts, people are attracted by higher returns in the stock market or Government bonds. The rate of growth of time deposits has been falling off because corporations, state and local governments, and foreign depositors can now get nearly 3½% on a 91-day Treasury...
