...Alternative Policy. At the head of the delegation was pipe-smoking French Premier René Mayer, blowing a few optimistic smoke rings. "I will speak in the U.S.," he told his countrymen, "in the name of a country which is ready to participate in the construction of Europe provided that her position as a world power be recognized." Mayer, who came to power chiefly by promising the Gaullists severe changes in the EDC treaty, had come round to strong support for it-subject to a few modifications, of course. "When the time comes," said he last week, "the French Parliament...
Around René Mayer's chief companion on the trip to Washington, Foreign Minister Georges Bidault, the visibility was not so clear. Washington had small, agile Georges Bidault pegged as a clever man caught between sympathy for the European Army plan and his own strong desire to become President of France next year. He is maneuvering in the thickets of French politics for a formula which will not only squeeze EDC through the Assembly-a heroic task in itself-but will also get Georges Bidault the later political support of varied, often opposing political factions.

...Essential Thing." The time for decision pressed on French politicians. Mayer's predecessor, Antoine Pinay, who had himself refused to submit EDC to the Assembly during his 9½ months as Premier, last week came out for it, and even had a few words of criticism for those who oppose it.

Physiologists are even changing their minds about what hunger is.

He says this goes up after eating, and the eater no longer feels hungry. But a few hours later it goes down, and he wants food. (In diabetics, the changes are more complicated...
...Revere, and three of the moviemakers who were shouted out of Silver City, N. Mex. this month for filming the semi-documentary Salt of the Earth) filed suit for a whopping $51,750,000 damages from 17 film companies, two producer associations, 20 top-ranking cinema executives (L. B. Mayer, Howard Hughes, Dore Schary, Sam Goldwyn, et al.), nine Congressmen (including the committee's current Chairman Harold Velde), and two committee investigators. The complaint: that their being named on studio blacklists (for such things as refusal to answer the committee's questions about their political beliefs and affiliations...
