Flowers for the Sick. Paschen fought back. He went on radio and TV to say that the fund had been used solely for welfare purposes, e.g., flowers for the sick. Besides, he argued, his predecessors had established similar funds and nobody had objected. In any case, he abolished the fund and ordered its $14,000 balance returned to the banks...
...Arias issued a defiant communiqué notifying the world that "this republic will not consider herself obliged to respect any of the decisions or recommendations adopted by the conference.'' Panama should have been invited, said the communiqué, because 1) the Panama Canal "is in some respects similar to the Suez Canal," and 2) a large merchant fleet flies the Panamanian flag.* On a visit to Cairo last week, Panama's Ambassador to Italy, doubling as Minister to Egypt, declared that Gamal Abdel Nasser had the right to nationalize the Suez Canal Company, and that Panama would...
Around the World? The Times has been developing its facsimile since 1935, tried a similar long-distance experiment in 1945, when it used A.P.

Last week on equipment of its own subsidiary, the Times Facsimile Corporation, the Times's transmission produced an image four times as detailed. It took only two minutes...

From the two centers will flow some half million words to help our editors not only report but illuminate the news of the conventions...

At one stylistic extreme is his Septet, which makes use of a method of composition similar to that used by his late rival. Arnold (Twelve-Tone) Schoenberg. At the other extreme are Stravinsky's early songs, orchestrated recently, which, in Marni Nixon's bell-clear soprano, have a childlike charm...
