...incredible returns continued to pour in last week from the outer precincts of French power, the sweep of Charles de Gaulle's triumph increased. In Martinique in the Caribbean the ratio was 14-1 for De Gaulle. On the Pacific island of New Caledonia, 52-1. In the Sahara, 70-1. Of 18 overseas territories, only French Guinea voted no. French residents in the Soviet Union plumped for De Gaulle 74-43, and in the New York voting area, 2,343 to 152. France itself, in a record turnout, jammed the polling places to roll up a majority...
...that Nasser, who now has shiny new Soviet guns to replace them, has turned over to the Algerians.

Such an agreement-unlike an agreement to end all tests-would be easy to enforce, since radioactive fallout can be readily detected...
This production was not up to the Broadway one. Bert Lahr had a lot of fun as the visitor from outer space, but lacked the polished hauteur that Cyril Ritchard brought to the role. Kenny Delmar (Fred Allen's Senator Claghorn, for those of you with long memories) could have used more of Eddie Mayehoff's bluffness in the part of the none-too-bright general who has trouble with anything bigger than the Army's laundry problems...
