...your report on defense in the Nov. 9 issue, reference was made to "the phasing out of the F-105." To the best of my knowledge, this information was not exact. The 1960 fiscal budget does call for a reduction of the monthly rate, but the overall number of aircraft to be produced in present U.S.A.F. programing is, we have been told, substantially unchanged. Further, no money has been appropriated beyond fiscal 1960 for any military products. We are of the firm opinion, based on the best knowledge available, that the Air Force is programing the F-105 through fiscal...
...Peking. When the State Department repeatedly refused to validate his passport. Porter sued Secretary of State Christian Herter, charging violation of congressional rights-but prudently trimmed his travel plans to include only Formosa, Japan and Okinawa. His official mission was to interview civilian employees abroad and report back to the Post Office and Civil Service Committee on the state of their morale, but Porter clearly had bigger things in mind.

His virtues have been agreeably rewarded. Friends report that his percentage-of-profits deal with M-G-M will put him on easy street for the rest of his life. But it is probable that MGM, which was in a shaky financial spot when the project was launched, will not have any trouble keeping up the payments...
...Pravda has come to print an occasional dissident word. Last week it not only published the text of U.S. Secretary of State Christian Herter's speech before the National Foreign Trade Council but reprinted from U.S. News & World Report an interview with Iowa Corn Farmer Roswell Garst, who played host to Khrushchev during the Soviet Chairman's U.S. visit last September. Garst's frank talk about Russian agriculture (still primitive by U.S. standards) and Khrushchev (rough, tough and cruel, but "not all black") got by untouched...
