Seven weeks after Communist Gerhart Eisler sneaked out of the U.S. as a stowaway, his wife Brunhilde, 37, set off in style last week to join him in the Soviet sector of Berlin. Because she was being deported (for overstaying her visitor's permit), the U.S. Government had to lay out $468.09 for her airline ticket. Even so, she was feeling a little miffed...
...Tough Decision. This week, after the votes were counted, Leopold's chances of returning home were still doubtful. The Catholics missed by three votes the 107 needed for a clear majority of the Lower Chamber. Probably more than three Liberals would be willing to join with them in voting for a plebiscite on Leopold.

The most important sanctuaries for unorthodoxy are the colleges and universities, and in the past few years, many of them have been cocreed and frightened into obedience...
...suggestion that we should employ here a procedure comparable to that required by the necessities of secret government work and investigate the loyalty of our staff is utterly repugnant to my concept of a university. On this point I am sure you will all agree. You will likewise join with me in condemning "the careless, incorrect and unjust use of such words as 'Red' and 'Communist' to attack teachers and other persons who in point of fact are not Communists but who merely have views different from those of their accusers." I quote from the report of the National Education...
