...issue that this election will affect immediately is the Willard Uphaus case. Wyman has indicated that he may reopen investigations of the New Haven pacifist who was jailed for refusing to divulge names of people who attended his summer conferences in North Conway. Boutin does not think Uphaus's conviction was unjust, but says that the Subversion Act under which Wyman operated "isn't a good law."; Boutin's backers will probably influence him to forget the case. Uphaus may return unharassed to New Haven if Boutin wins on Tuesday, but there won't be a revolution in New Hampshire...
Last spring, exactly 95 years after the Confederacy died there, Negro high school students tried to use the whites-only library. Danville (pop. 35,000) promptly padlocked the place along with the smaller Negro branch two blocks away.

Cautiously, Belgian merchants crept back into the cities, taking down the shutters from their shop windows in hasty compliance with the Congo Cabinet's decree that stores and factories must reopen by August 8 or be confiscated. Reports of continuing tribal warfare among the Baluba and Lulua in the Kasai interior hardly ruffled Léopoldville's street crowds. Here and there local commanders of the Congo's restive Force Publique set up as semi-independent potentates. One Sabena pilot on a routine flight to Stanleyville suddenly heard...
...signed a vaguely worded communiqué in Washington that the U.S. accepted as sufficient apology. A new Bulgarian minister took up his post in Washington praising "the spirit of Camp David," and last week, after a ten-year lapse, U.S. Minister Edward Page Jr., 54, arrived in Sofia to reopen the U.S. mission...
