...advocates amplified social security, along with speeded-up industrialization, to fight Cuba's chronic joblessness. In answer to Batista's charge that Castro's movement is "proSoviet and pro-Communist," friends of Castro point to the character of his army. Almost to a man, they are Roman Catholics, who wear religious medals on their caps or on strings around their necks. For the sake of getting on with the war, Castro says, he avoids fruitless political discussions with his one outrightly pro-Red captain...
With no political dexterity at all, the U.S. military government authorities on Okinawa moved two months ago to remove a political irritant-skinny little pro-Communist Kamejiro Senaga, mayor of Okinawa's capital and chief city, Naha. The method: Lieut. General James E. Moore, U.S. High Commissioner, rewrote Naha's laws to permit the city assembly's conservative majority to oust the mayor on a vote of no confidence, then effectively barred his re-election by decreeing that no convicted felons could hold office (Senaga was jailed by the U.S. authorities in 1954 for harboring a Japanese...
...cold afternoon in February 1945, Russia's Andrei Vishinsky buzzed into Bucharest, bustled over to the palace of 24-year-old King Michael and banged out a desk-thumping ultimatum: fire the non-Communist government, install a pro-Communist regime-or sovereign Rumania would cease to exist.

The conference's origins lay not in Cairo but in India, where 2½ years ago a pro-Communist Ihdian M.P. named Anup Singh organized the "Asian Solidarity Committee" to influence the first Afro-Asian conference at Bandung (TIME, May 2, 1955). Last year Singh approached Nasser, suggested a conference in Cairo as a suitable sequel to Bandung. It was a play on words. The delegates to the Bandung conference had been official representatives of their nations, many of them heads of their governments. The delegates to the Cairo conference officially represented nobody but themselves. Unofficially...
...attack occurred one night a month ago, but all news of it had been blacked out by censorship. A young pro-Communist lieutenant colonel named Wahab Mocmour, who has recently armed some 1,500 plantation workers, launched a 300-man detachment in a fullscale, all-night attack against the headquarters of the 2nd Regiment of the First Military District. Rebel casualties: 48 killed, an unknown number wounded. The 2nd Regiment lost two dead...
