...Philippines' President Ramon Magsaysay, in office only two weeks, soon regretted his glowing invitation to Filipinos, extended in his inaugural speech, to telegraph complaints directly to the President. From all over the islands, thousands of long wires of woe crackled into Manila. Hastily, Magsaysay trimmed down his generosity: henceforth, though they may still be sent free, telegrams must wail in 50 words or less...

...School Girls' Union. Since he first started teaching them to ride motorcycles at his presidential quinta in suburban Olivos last August, he has hardly let a day pass without some kindness. Recently he gave the union the rambling old presidential palace on downtown Calle Suipacha-unused since President Ramon Castillo's overthrow in 1943-for a clubhouse.

Occasionally his head would bob up like a swimmer's over the surging sea of humanity while official loudspeakers blared: "Please, please, we don't want to mangle the new President." At last Magsaysay was lifted to the shoulders of some of his constituents while others tried to reach up and wipe the sweat from his streaming brow.

...their way from Seoul to Manila for the inauguration of the Philippines' President-elect Ramon Magsaysay (see FOREIGN NEWS), Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Arthur W. Radford and his wife Marian, along with Assistant Secretary of State (for Far Eastern Affairs) Walter S. Robertson, stopped off for two days in Formosa.
