Showing the bluntness that he rarely lets the public see or hear, Dwight Eisenhower let fire last week with the toughest language he has aimed at Capitol Hill during his 5½ years in the presidency. Target of the salvo: the defense reorganization bill unanimously reported out by "Uncle Carl" Vinson's House Armed Services Committee. When he first laid eyes on the committee's draft in mid-May, the President dubbed it "progress."

He was driven into the boards by an average body check, but as he swung around to skate for the puck, his arm hit the boards and his wrist was broken...
...Amman, young King Hussein was calm and confident. As soon as the''Cairo campaign started, his police visited every school in refugee trouble spots, warned teachers that they faced instant arrest if they permitted any kind of demonstration by their students. Jordan's own radio returned salvo for salvo, refuting Nasser's charges, charging in turn that "Nasser is a Communist puppet" who is holding his people "under whip and chain...
