...prove it, an eight-jet B-52G lifted off from Florida's Eglin Air Force Base last week with a 43-ft. Hound Dog slung under each wing. Air Force Captain Jay L. McDonald, 36, piloted the bomber over Cincinnati, Lake Superior, Hudson Bay and to the North Pole; then he wheeled it back all the way to Florida and unleashed one of the Hound Dogs.

...just in from Czechoslovakia, and with the secret cargoes of Russian and Czech transport planes unloaded under guard. Communist money was building a huge new printing plant for Guinea, to be followed by a powerful radio station. Communist Czechs operate Conakry's airport and harbor, and a Communist Pole is Touré's adviser on public works. Even the Red Chinese were in town-to "advise on rice production."
