...South Viet Nam's summary rejection of French Puppet Bao Dai, and shocked by the sudden defection of El Glaoui, France's oldest Moroccan ally. Yet none of these reverses vexed the touchy Deputies as much as Edgar Faure's surprise proposal (TIME, Oct. 31) for snap Assembly elections to be held before Christmas. "Grave national responsibilities" confronting the country early next year, Faure had said, required that the Assembly renew its mandate, which otherwise would not expire until June. Of course, the scheme might just possibly keep nimble Edgar Faure atop the political heap a while...
Artist-Poetess-Actress Gloria Vanderbilt Stokowska, 31, was signed up by a sometime escort, Crooner-Cinemactor Frank (The Tender Trap) Sinatra, to make her movie debut as leading lady in Star-Producer Sinatra's first Western, Johnny Concho. In the script, Gloria will snap at Frankie: "I'll marry you only when you grow up!" At week's end, Gloria, who married long-maned Maestro Leopold Stokowski in 1945 when he was 63 and bore him two sons, flew to Juarez and signed off as his wife...

DeGraaf on the first play from the eight-yard line, faked a hand-off to Cy Benson, and then skirted his own left end to score...
OUTSMARTING the American League was a snap compared to the job Casey Stengel faces when he takes on the Dodgers. The Yanks are old pros who know the game too well to play it by the book. Casey's spectacular hunches will have them shooting for a big inning at the first break. Batters expected to sacrifice are likely to bluff a bunt to muss up the infield and then hit away; runners will gamble and go for extra bases. Infield and outfield alike are capable of making the game-saving catch, the impossible double play that rescues...
