...vote for Al Smith, four years later pushed for the presidential election of his fellow squire, Franklin Roosevelt. After a series of Washington jobs in the NRA '305, Harriman spent 1941 to 1943 in London and Moscow as F.D.R.'s special-missions contact and Lend-Lease expediter, was Ambassador to Russia (1943-46), then to the Court of St. James's (1946), and Truman's Secretary of Commerce in the same year. Two years later, he was Marshall Plan ambassador in Europe, then Special Assistant to the President (1950-51), director of Mutual Security...
CHARLOTTESVILLE (pop. 30,300). Parents' groups rushed plans to set up temporary schooling in private homes, fraternal clubs and churches, but most churches flatly refused to lend their facilities for such a purpose, turned the segregationists away. As the private-school groups scrounged to find rooms elsewhere, 200 parents formed an organization to "pursue every legal means to keep public schools open."

To lend realism, a TV picture of a huge scale model of an airfield shows the pilot how the appearance of the ground changes as he takes off and lands. In addition to United, eleven other lines will school their pilots for the jet age on Link trainers, both for the DC-8 and Boeing 707. The trainers will save the lines huge sums, since it costs only $36 an hour to learn...
...Secretary of State Dulles read off his -stern warning to Red China (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). In Moscow the Soviet press blustered that, if the U.S. and Red China came to blows, Russia would help Peking "with everything at its disposal." Peking itself, in a move clearly designed to lend color to future charges of "aggression" by the U.S., proclaimed that henceforth the limit of its territorial waters would be not three but twelve miles. This would mean, if the Reds could make it stick, that all of Quemoy and Matsu would be in Red China's waters...
