...past-president, Frank Holman. 74, of Seattle, author and bankroller of a 32-page pro-Connally pamphlet that is being circulated to leaders of the 99,400-member association as well as to women's clubs, veterans' groups and editors around the nation. Dismissing the proponents of repeal as "internationalists" and "world government enthusiasts," Holman argues that "the Connally Reservation is necessary to protect the U.S. against a program of supernational supervision of its citizens," imposed by alien jurists who could make up rules as they went along because the body of international law is incomplete and indecisive...
...reservation was highballed through the Senate by Texas' Tom Connally in 1946. The following year the A.B.A. resoundingly urged its repeal on grounds that the Connally Reservation, rather than protecting the U.S.. would cripple the workings of the World Court to the eventual detriment of U.S. interests. A bipartisan campaign to repeal the Connally Reservation has won the backing of President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, Secretary of State Herter, Attorney General William Rogers, Democratic Senators Hubert Humphrey, J. William Fulbright and John Kennedy. It may pass the Senate next year. Hoping to influence the Senate's decision...

Napoleon reinstated the tax in 1806, but he generously allowed any Frenchman with his own vineyard or orchard to distill tax-free up to ten liters of pure alcohol a year (equal to more than five gallons of 100-proof brandy). Since then, through two empires, two monarchies and five republics. French peasants have guarded their home stills like so many Kentucky moonshiners-and French politicians have cherished the bouilleurs de cru (distillers of the countryside) as zealously as U.S. politicians protect...
...Date. In Britain, Labor Party Leader Hugh Gaitskell had studied last year's disastrous election defeat and concluded that change was needed in the party's doctrinaire constitution, which had not been basically overhauled since 1929. Specifically he called for repeal of Clause Four, which calls for "common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange." Nationalization had been tried by the Labor Party itself when it was in power and had proved no panacea. In the working man's affluent world of "the telly, the frig and the car," Gaitskell argued, the old slogans...
