...native inhabitants of Netherlands New Guinea live in areas "under administrative control." Even in one of the allegedly pacified zones-the Wissel Lakes region-the commission revealed that an uprising against the government and subsequent tribal warfare cost the lives of 200 Papuans and ten government troops in late 1956. At Agats sits a government post with 30 men, but its control hardly extends beyond the village limits and only 30 miles away a group of Papuans killed 50 enemies and ate them up. On Frederik Hendrik Island, 33% of all babies...

And only six weeks ago, demonstrating students invaded the U.S. Canal Zone and hoisted Panamanian flags to dramatize sovereignty claims. In Guatemala Communists, once held firmly in check by the late President Carlos Castillo Armas, are again able to cause trouble...
...much so that he short-circuited the usual channels in answering such a letter, sat down and wrote out his own reply.

The Dodgers themselves reacted by winning four of their next five games, including three straight from the Braves...
Near Relations. Popham's service with the New York Times was no coincidence. Both papers are owned by the estate of the late (1935) Adolph Ochs; both are run by his descendants and their relatives. In fact, the Chattanooga Daily Times can claim to be the parent of its massive stablemate: Ochs was publisher and owner of the Daily Times when he bought the New York Times in 1896 for $75,000. The Daily Times editor, Martin Ochs, 34, is his grandnephew; Publisher Golden is the son-in-law of Times Publisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who in turn...
