...peaceful life and progress of the area." France's view is understandably colored by memories of its own defeat in Indo-China. The U.S. does not exclude the possibility that South Viet Nam may be neutralized, but Washington insists that the country must first be made sufficiently strong to protect itself against a Communist takeover. Meanwhile, if France and the U.S. reach no sudden entente, there are hopes at least of a Détente cordiale between the two allies...
...Kaunda, 40, is a fiery nationalist who has spent his share of time in British prisons. But he has since convinced his former masters that he has the makings of a moderate African statesman in the mold of Tanganyika's Nyerere. Kaunda advocates a "multiracial society" that will protect the rights of the white minority. He favors foreign investment, has promised just negotiations with the British-owned copper companies for an increased local share of the take...
Recruited by an Israeli agent, Hüttenmeister became convinced that he could somehow make amends for Auschwitz and Buchenwald by helping Israel protect itself against Egyptian plots and plans. After training in cryptography and other techniques in an Israeli-operated spy school in Paris, Hüttenmeister flew to Cairo with instructions to pick up a capsule of microfilm from a Sudanese clerk named Ismail Sabri and smuggle it out of Egypt. The neophyte spy had no sooner taken the film than he was arrested by Egyptian security agents...
...long, weighs 13 tons, and has a reasonably conventional submarine shape, but the outside hull serves only for streamlining and control. When Alvin submerges, the water enters that thin skin freely. Inside is a 7-ft. sphere with walls of high-strength steel 1.33 in. thick to protect the crew from water pressure down to 6,000 ft. Its four viewing ports permit the pilot and observer to see ahead and below, and its three steerable, battery-powered propellers, two of which can swivel to point up or down, give high maneuverability and a top speed of about 7 m.p.h...
...Deepstar, which looks like a close cousin to Alvin, is being built by Westinghouse in collaboration with Jacques-Yves Cousteau, co-developer of the Aqua-Lung. It, too, has a streamlined outside hull containing a thick-walled pressure sphere to protect its crew. Its intended depth will be 12,000 ft., and it will have a claw like a giant lobster. Deepstar will not be ready until 1965, when Westinghouse will begin using it in its own underwater research, besides leasing or selling it to other organizations that feel an urge to explore the ocean bottom...
