Massive New Look. Specific reasons for concern were not difficult to find; they include precarious local crises that stretch from the trigger-happy situation between Jews and Arabs in the Middle East to France's evident inability to deal with her problems in North Africa and at home, from the increasing economic penetration by Communist China in Asia to Britain's recurring economic crisis (TIME, Feb. 27). But overriding and surrounding and worsening all of these local problems is the massive "new look" of Communist policy elaborately displayed in Moscow...

So Lo went ahead arresting missionaries, priests and clergymen as spies, or harried them into leaving the country. Of China's 6,475 foreign...
...Bonn the old Chancellor glowered. His local defeat had national repercussions: seats in the federal upper house are chosen by the local governments. He was thus deprived of North Rhine-Westphalia's five votes there, and lost his two-thirds majority in the Bundesrat. Adenauer needs the two-thirds majority to put through constitutional changes permitting German rearmament...
