Just before 1 p.m. Khrushchev's motorcade rolled up to the 20th Century-Fox studio commissary ("Cafe de Paris") in Beverly Hills. Khrushchev was welcomed by President Eric Johnston of the Motion Pictures Association, who had visited Khrushchev in Russia, and by 20th Century-Fox President Spyros Skouras. The Premier sat down for lunch between them. Mrs. Khrushchev, carrying a bouquet of bird-of-paradise flowers, sat beside Frank Sinatra, opposite Bob Hope and David Niven.

In her hold was a Diving Saucer, a two-man submarine designed to follow the ocean bottom down...
Last week, as the Legion met in Minneapolis for its 41st convention, an attempt was made for the tenth straight year to force the 40 & 8 to accept nonwhites-and for the first time the motion came to a floor vote. Pushing hardest behind it were the Legion's California delegates: the Santa Clara chapter of 40 & 8 had lost its charter after admitting an American of Chinese ancestry. In the 90° temperature of Minneapolis Auditorium, the oratory came to a boil. "Those who would introduce bigotry in our organization," cried the Rev. Edward Goodwin, chaplain...
