Extremely happy to see your item about the Sad Sacks. I have spent some time around mental hospitals and prisons where I "accidentally" had access to files of psychiatric diagnosis. Uhler's note on the "Army's evasive psychiatric procedures by which a precise diagnosis was avoided in favor of mere description and paraphrase" would be a kind way to state the chaotic, uncritical "diagnosis" of psychiatrists in general...
When news of the second attack on a U.S. plane (see INTERNATIONAL) reached Washington, the State Department promptly released the text of a note sent to Yugoslavia last May 20. It accused the Yugoslav Government of a series of nefarious and unfair tactics in Trieste: subornation of the press, incitement to unrest, propaganda attacks on the A.M.G., criminal and terrorist activities, intimidation of the local public and local officials.

...Generalissimo Stalin, 50,000 Tuvinians indited a note of thanks for allowing them to withdraw from the capitalist world and enter the Soviet Union. The occasion was the 25th anniversary of the country's former independence. Tannu Tuva (pop. 65,000) is a Mongolian farming, mining and cattle raising area about the size of Nevada, between Siberia and Outer Mongolia. Its assumption to Russia was a fact unknown to the rest of the world until it read the names of Tuvinian delegates on the election lists to the Supreme Soviet last October...
