...White House staff bristled warily when Harold Stassen telephoned to ask for an appointment with the President. The deep, dark, staff-level suspicion: Childe Harold might be looking for a chance to resign from his job as Disarmament Adviser and claim martyrdom in his lonely campaign to pit Massachusetts Governor Christian Herter against Dick Nixon for the Republican vice-presidential nomination (TIME, Aug. 6). Back went a call to Stassen: Just what did he have in mind? Replied Harold: he wanted the President's permission to take a month's leave to expand his pro-Herter activities. With...
...suspicious state checks-some of them made out to men who denied ever having seen them-had been cashed on Hodge's signature by Chicago's Southmoor Bank. For days Hodge held firm, resisted Republican Governor William Stratton's efforts to get him to resign, and kept his mouth shut. Then Southmoor Bank's President Edward H.

...Prewar editor (1929-33) of the big Amsterdam Telegraaf, bald, brilliant Dr. Goedhart became a top-ranking resistance leader, later (1944) moved to London as Minister of Justice in the Dutch government in exile.

Lang pointed out that he had served during the war in the Intelligence Corps, in what he called "high-grade security work." He had briefly been a member of the British-Soviet Friendship Society, and assistant treasurer of the socialist Haldane Society at a time when many Laborite lawyers had quit in disgust at its espousal of Communist causes (Lang...
...Algiers struck against Lacoste's announced plan to give two-thirds of all administrative posts to qualified Moslems. At ceremonies celebrating the eleventh anniversary of V-E Day, hostile Algerian French crowds booed, hurled tomatoes and stones as Lacoste laid a wreath on the war memorial. "Lacoste, resign! Put the army in power!" they chanted. Lacoste hustled past the police cordon, stopped before one shouting Frenchman and demanded: "Have you ever fought a war?" The man said no. Snapped Lacoste: "Well, I fought in two. If you want to give lessons in patriotism, get up into the mountains." Lacoste...
