...John Foster Dulles' proposals for aerial zones of inspection (TIME, Aug. 12). But. after complaining that the Dulles proposal failed to include all U.S. bases in Asia and Africa, Zorin returned to two of the most tired themes of Soviet propaganda: if there is to be disarmament, all NATO and Communist Warsaw Pact troops must be withdrawn from foreign soil in Europe, and all foreign military bases must be liquidated. He reiterated the Soviet insistence on a quick three-stage reduction of armed forces...

The German Air Force (or "jaff," as the Americans pronounce it) boasts only 50 trained jet pilots, half of them base-bound as instructors, the rest aloft in a lone F-84 fighter squadron. A spare...
...foot in the grave.' " Old Luftwaffe pilots, now in their late 30s or early 40s, prove slower to train than their opposite U.S. numbers, report U.S. instructors at Fürstenfeldbruck. Banned from the air for ten years, baffled by the jet age complexities, bridling at homework and "NATO English," and afflicted by the general Ohne mich ("Count me out") psychology which infects German soldiery, the tigers of 1940 have not yet recovered their bite...
