...uneven quality this season, Playhouse go proves that Hollywood TV can turn out good live drama as well. But with the move of CBS's Studio One to Hollywood this month, live TV drama has lost almost the last of the roots that nourished it from fertile Broadway soil...
Unexpected Rejection. The U.S. had expected some NATO allies to reject the offer-notably Norway and Denmark, who have steadfastly refused to have U.S. bombers based on their soil. Norway's Einar Gerhardsen, a 60-year-old ex-road mender who was one of the five Socialist or quasi-Socialist Premiers among the 14 present in Paris, promptly met that expectation. Said Gerhardsen: "We have no plans in Norway to let atomic stockpiles be established on Norwegian territory, or to construct launching sites for intermediate range ballistic missiles."

In Rome the semiofficial news agency Italia reported that "the Italian government does not consider granting of missile bases to NATO a necessary consequence of the international responsibilities Italy has already assumed...
