...removed. In suburban Hyattsville, Md., First Secretary Alexander Zinchuk of the Soviet embassy made a jovial pitch for a U.S.-Russian bridge across the Bering Strait so man could ride by road and rail from Hyattsville to the Kremlin. Back home in the U.S.S.R. Nikita Khrushchev feted Premier Guy Mollet of France as the "flying swallow of peace." Along with the smiles, the Communists offered what appeared to the world's unwise to be a substantial concession: the demobilization of 1,200,000 fighting men (see FOREIGN NEWS...

...government of Socialist Premier Guy Mollet persists in office partly because no other majority among France's politicians wants to assume the onus of grappling with the dilemma of Algeria.

Socialist Premier Guy Mollet won four votes of confidence from the Chamber of Deputies last week, on proposals to increase old-age pensions and levy new taxes to pay for them. The measure was a sop to his Socialist supporters, who are restive at the strong measures Mollet is taking in Algeria. Mollet's right-wing opponents do not want to bring him down, because it suits them fine to have a Social ist taking the unpopular but necessary action in Algeria...
