...Moslem voters stunned the most optimistic Frenchmen. Even in the mountains of Kabylia, once an F.L.N. stronghold, Moslem women swathed in traditional robes waited patiently to cast the first vote of their lives. At Mostaganem, one pregnant Moslem woman defied doctor's orders to take her place in line and produced her baby right in the polling station. In impressive numbers, they voted for De Gaulle...
Egged on by spade-bearded Party Boss Walter Ulbricht, East German Communists have recently been tightening the screws on intellectuals and the professions. In the universities, stooge students were assigned to classes and lectures to make certain that teachers spouted the party line. Doctors and dentists were exhorted to become "medical activists," warned that all private practice would be destroyed so that they could devote full time to serving "people's medical establishments." The result: in eight months 813 doctors, 2,393 teachers and about 200 professors-including the rector of the University of Jena (TIME, Sept. 1)-fled...
...missile age made it impossible. To equip the R.C.A.F. with Arrows would cost something like $2 billion, and the first operational models would not be in service until 1961. A better bet was to spend the money on a setup like the U.S.'s SAGE system: improved DEW-line radar, electronic computers to guide 2,000-m.p.h. missiles such as the U.S. Bomarc. The tough-minded decision left the proud R.C.A.F. with little future as a combat flying force. Its role will be that of a missile operator, plus such auxiliary jobs as anti-submarine patrol and air transport...
...line, as hollered out by saggy, white-thatched Party Secretary Eugene Dennis, 53, and others of the hierarchy, had a familiar clang: U.S. foreign policy was "criminally dangerous," Ike "should be impeached," recognition of Red China would "make 600 million friends for America." But only 1,300 of the aging faithful were present in Manhattan's spacious (capacity: 2.760) Carnegie Hall to applaud, steadily but softly, at the 39th anniversary of the nation's dying Communist Party...
Sole Life Line. The free counsel is also serious medicine. Radio constantly fingers patients who need hospitalization, gets doctors out fast to the bush by plane. Alerted by radio last month, Fairbanks' Dr. Jean Persons, a minister's thirtyish daughter who has braved many a stormy night flight, rushed to a man who had tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the chin. She landed in time to stop the blood, took him back for plastic surgery...
