...Received an unexpected gift : a handsome color photograph of Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov, his wife, two daughters, a son-in-law and a granddaughter, against a background of blooming nasturtiums (see NEWS IN PICTURES). White House Press Secretary James Hagerty thought that he had an explanation of Zhukov's gift. At the Geneva Conference, Russia's Nikita Khrushchev told President Eisenhower that Zhukov had passed up his younger daughter's wedding in Moscow in order to attend the conference and to see his old comrade-in-arms. The President promptly presented an autographed...
...Astronomer George H. Herbig of Lick Observatory took a photograph of a small area in the Orion nebula, which is 1,600 light years (9,600 trillion miles) away from the earth. It showed three faint stars embedded in a cloud of dust and gas. At last week's Dublin meeting of the International Astronomical Union, Dr. Herbig displayed a recent picture of the same region. The picture showed five stars, two of which may be newborn. The light from the new stars, of course, took 1,600 years to reach the earth, so the stars were actually born...
...Deputy Minister of Agriculture Vladimir Matskevich presented Benson with a couple of souvenir lacquered boxes, one of them showing a family of bears gamboling happily in a forest.

Once more the U.S. will ask the Russians to accept President Eisenhower's proposal to exchange military secrets and the right to photograph each other's territory from the air. The U.S. is ready to accept a Russian plan to station disarmament inspectors of each country at harbors, rail junctions and airfields of the other country; but the U.S. will also insist that the inspectors visit atomic-weapon plants...
...next two days, his photograph on every front page, Carpenter slept in movie houses. Then Patrolman Clarence Kerr, leaving the Biltmore Theater with his wife, spotted Carpenter snoozing through the gunfire-crackling climax of a western thriller. Policeman Kerr fired five times in the darkness, but fell to the floor, critically wounded, as Carpenter dashed behind the screen and out a fire exit, trailing a spoor of blood from a slug in his right thigh. For the next 23 hours, 500 enraged detectives and 60 squads of patrolmen roamed the area, intent on getting Cop-Killer Carpenter. A helicopter watched...
