...detained for more than an hour. The Soviet version of the incident, said U.S. Ambassador Charles Bohlen, "is in such flagrant contradiction of the facts that I am sure the Soviet Foreign Ministry will wish to change it." Even after a personal call from Bohlen, however, Foreign Minister Molotov showed no such disposition. Molotov in fact seemed eager to exploit the matter, in marked contrast to a recent hushed-up but far more serious, affair involving two British embassy employees who beat up a couple of Russian policemen, but were allowed to leave the country without fuss...
...Moscow last week, Senator-Correspondent Smith held an hour-long "general discussion" with Foreign Minister Molotov. Later, to the bewilderment of the State Department, she declared that she would not be surprised if U.S.-Soviet diplomatic relations were "broken off at any time by either side." See It Now viewers will get a report this month on the Molotov meeting and can look forward to a fuller explanation of Reporter Smith's teaser about U.S.-Soviet relations...
...Molotov's offer showed a "real change" in Russian policy, cried inept, porky Socialist Leader Erich Ollenhauer.

A German peace is necessary for world peace, and a German peace means the unification of Germany in whatever way it is brought about." The Soviet-run government of East Germany, he said, is as free and sovereign as that of West Germany...
...pathetic little ceremony inside Hanoi one evening last week, the French Tricolor was hauled down and handed to a silently weeping colonel. Next day, in well-ordered triumph the first of 30,000 helmeted, green-clad troops of the Communist Viet Minh rolled into the city in Russian Molotov trucks, Russian command cars and jeeps, on bicycles and afoot. Thus IndoChina's ancient capital (pop. 400,000) passed into Communist hands, in starkly simple faithfulness to the Geneva agreement which turned half of Indo-China over to Red rule...
