Fifty miles across at their narrowest, the Tsushima Straits are Japan's historic doors to the Asiatic mainland. Over them centuries ago Regent Hideyoshi's armada sailed to battle the Koreans and send home 38,000 enemy ears pickled in wine. Upon them in 1905 crusty Admiral Togo smashed the Russian fleet. Presumably the submarine knocking on the door last week was American.

Wells' house near Regent's Park (he likes to play charades, brags about his diabetes)-or what it is like to dine with Labor Minister Ernest Bevin at the Trades Union Club (he drops cigaret ashes on his front, wears colored shirts, talks about crossing carrier pigeons with parrots so they can deliver verbal messages...
Governor Arnall at once appointed new regents, significantly including two-time regent Marion Smith, who had been fired by both Governor E. D. Rivers and Governor Talmadge for political reasons. The new regents last week voted to restore both Cocking and Pittman to their jobs. Cocking prefers to stay in Washington as Federal Security Agency consultant. Pittman returns to Georgia this week...
