Determined to milk as much benefit as possible from U.S. antiwar demonstrations, the Viet Cong last week freed two G.I.s especially with the Vietnik audience in mind. The men were Staff Sergeant George E. Smith, 27, and Specialist Fifth Class Claude McClure, 25, both of whom had been Communist prisoners for more than two years. The Viet Cong delivered them, well fed and in apparent good health, to a Cambodian border post only a few hours after a V.C. radio station had broadcast that the G.I.s were being released "as a response to the friendly sentiments of the American people...
Though written for radio, Under Milk Wood surely deserves live public performance; yet, I would have thought it obvious that "a play for voices" is meant to be heard and not seen. Well, if it wasn't earlier this week, it should be now. By adding physical movement to his Dunster-East House production, director Walter Licht has only distracted from the poetry of Dylan Thomas's prose.

Two days after the State Department lodged a strong protest over a new virulently anti-American book by Ghana's President Kwame Nkrumah, the U.S. declined his government's request for $129 million worth of wheat, rice and dried milk. Faced with ever dwindling reserves and ever increasing demand, the Administration made clear that The Redeemer had better concentrate on feeding his people...
From God to Government. Midwestern farmers still shake their heads over his program to raise hog prices by killing off millions of piglets. His later proposal to export farm surpluses to needy countries earned the derisive label of "milk for Hottentots." Nonetheless, Wallace had a profound understanding of farm economics at a time when U.S. agriculture was widely regarded as God's concern, not the Government...
