England, mindful of the critical need for advanced scientific talent, gives its graduate students blanket deferments...
...action against this danger at the Inter-American Conference in Caracas next March. But the U.S. is running into trouble trying to get the Latin Americans to agree to anything like a strong line against Guatemala's fellow-traveling government.
