...Matsu, promptly went onto the alert; in Washington the Department of State protested that Peking was "raising the specter of war." And in the process, Khrushchev's longstanding campaign to persuade the world that the Communist nations are just one big nest of peace lovers suffered a sharp setback...
...Fright. What was frightening Japan was the sudden sharp rise in leukemia deaths among supposedly uninjured survivors. In the year preceding last week's anniversary, 65 in Hiroshima and atom-bombed Nagasaki died of "atomic sickness." In the previous twelve months, the total deaths had been 36; in the year before that, 20. Another statistic was just as chilling: of 32,000 children born in Hiroshima in the past 13 years, nearly one in six was deformed or stillborn. U.S. Dr. George B. Darling of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission protests that "the incidence of abnormal births to parents...
...healthy boost in his 1959 budget (TIME, Jan. 13). This week LIFE published the second of two installments on Gavin's quickly written 304-page book, War and Peace in the Space Age (Harper; $5), a rumpus-raising attack on his old enemies and a sharp accusation that the Army is in bad shape technologically because the defense effort has been too concentrated on the Air Force. And this, he says, is doubly tragic, because: 1) limited wars using tactical atomic weapons are still more likely than the massive air-atomic one for which the Strategic Air Command...
...between Arabs and Jews over Jordan. Israel long ago said it would not "look indifferently at the dismemberment of Jordan." In such a situation, Israel might strike for the west bank of the Jordan River to give itself a more easily defended border. A single incident last week brought sharp reminder of this ticking bomb: 66 Arab prisoners in Israel, nearly all of them terrorists captured infiltrating the country from Jordan in the past, seized guns from their prison armory, killed two guards (eleven prisoners also were killed) and escaped toward the border in the most spectacular jailbreak in Israel...
...effort to influence his papers' political opinions; e.g., in Syracuse his morning Post-Standard (circ. 103,694) is Republican and his afternoon Her aid-Journal (circ. 132,387) is Independent Democratic. Without pretense of being an editorial man, he demands competent reporting and clean writing. He keeps a sharp eye on the budget, but is apt to increase editorial funds in the hope of returns in the form of added circulation...
