...seen at Legnica, where thousands of Soviet troops are garrisoned. Yet, though unwillingly bound to Moscow, Poles find reason to think that even the West will acknowledge their claims. They noted happily that President Eisenhower, in his recent television broadcast on the Berlin crisis, used a map showing the western territories as part of Poland. They got a bigger lift last week from France's President de Gaulle. That stout friend of Konrad Adenauer insisted that enmity between Germans and French no longer exists, and that France endorses West Germany's drive for reunification of today...
...account for the rest of an Allied garrison of about 11,000 troops. To supply them, the U.S. runs two to three convoys per week-three to ten trucks in each convoy-over the 110-mile, four-lane Autobahn between the border check point of Helmstedt, and Berlin (see map). The British send in about one convoy a week, and the French about one a month. The West Germans, in a thriving trade with 2,300,000 West Berliners and West Berlin industries, send some 14,000 truckloads over the road monthly, plus some 600 barges through the Mittelland Canal...

Acre lots that sold for as low as $795 four years ago are now worth $6,000. His Edwards Estates at Edwards Air Force Base and Mountain View Estates at Victorville have grown from sandy wastes to thriving communities...
...along approval of the applications and speed the prospectors on their way. In the master plan for developing the Arctic, oil may well be a lure that brings roads and towns and facilities of every description. The government itself touched off the race for applications with recently completed geological maps showing formations of an oil-bearing type extending through the Arctic as far as Ellesmere Island, 490 miles from the North Pole. To aid future prospectors for oil as well as other minerals, the Department of Transport plans to open northern airfields (see map) to private flyers, maintain stores...
