When the selectors had finished, the opposition to 15 Cabinet officers running had vanished. So had the opponents of nine junta officers, including Nasser's chief political adviser, Wing Commander Ali Sabri. In one case, 22 candidates had to be struck off to guarantee the unopposed election of a favored candidate.

In five constituencies all candidates were declared unsatisfactory...
Minitrack. Last week at Blossom Point, Md., about 40 miles south of Washington, the Naval Research Laboratory showed how the satellite's feeble radio signals will be picked up. Nine enormous antennas scattered over a 25-acre field waited for whispers of energy from the sky. The satellite's role was played by a Navy airplane flying at 15,000 ft. and carrying the 13-oz.

Robert Brink was the fine soloist in the first local performance of the revised version of Alan Hovhaness' Concerto No.2 for Violin and String Orchestra, a rather bland neo-modal work. Carl Ruggles' extremely dissonant Angels was written for either string or brass ensemble; the performance here by strings could not equal the extraordinary effect that three trumpets and five trombones can achieve. The concert ended with Daniel Pinkham '44 conducting the combined chorus and orchestra in his new Wedding...
