Only Siam responded promptly to the State Department's invitation to a joint statement. But there was new debate and soul-searching in all the free countries of the world. The Vietnamese government itself was strengthened when an important bloc of local fence-sitters decided to support the fight against Ho Chi Minh. In France, the anti-Communists spoke up more boldly. For the first time the French, noting that the Chinese Communists were already providing artillery and antiaircraft guns at besieged Dienbienphu, were saying that the war had entered a new phase and might be "internationalized," if necessary...

Ike was not prepared to go as far as McDonald, who wanted public works projects increased by a whopping $5 billion a year. The President's advisers have told him that state and local governments could-and should-spend 50% more on public works (last year they spent $7 billion), and any major increase in such state and local effort would call for more federal participation. President Eisenhower may urge these views on the state governors when they meet with him April...

King Ross himself stood by the wheel of their barge to guide it through the atoll's tricky shoals back to the Gothic, bound for Ceylon and more ceremonies, more crowds...
Cincinnati is also busy with air samples. A paper filter exhibited at the center last week was black with filth from local air, which had been sucked through it. Doctors have seen that the city's curve of smog concentrations matched the curve of deaths from heart and respiratory disease. Each day the center receives filters, coated with air pollutants collected by the same process in 23 other U.S. cities, for analysis and comparison. Right now, the Fort Worth filters are tan from wind-borne topsoil. Those from Detroit and Los Angeles show that, at rush hours, the lead...
Immediately following the debate the Chairman rushed about gathering the three ballots. Meanwhile the debaters stuffed quote cards into their briefcases and prepared to make a hasty departure. A local speech instructor and the Information Director of the pro-McCarthy Sentinel voted against the Harvard team's conclusion to outnumber the debate coach from a neighboring town who cast an affirmative ballot. The Harvard men appeared more relaxed when the doors to the auditorium were unlocked and the crowd began to pour out. As the photographers snapped flash shots the Marquette debate coach rushed up to the rostrum...
