In Jordan, where rabidly Arab-nationalist Palestinians comprise two-thirds of the population, wily Strongman Samir Rifai publicly proclaimed: "We support every effort to achieve this sort of union," then dashed for Saudi Arabia to urge King Saud to meet with Jordan's King Hussein and Iraq's King Feisal to form a counter-federation of the three kingdoms.

Projects of this sort are apparently in the works. A spokesman for the Army announced plans for a 500-lb. space vehicle that can be used for military reconnaissance, presumably taking pictures of the terrain that it passes over and sending them back to earth by radio or TV. Another announced Army project is a rocket motor with 1,000,000 lbs. of thrust, twelve times the power of the souped-up Redstone.

It gathers in a ring at the center of the torus, and the current flowing through the ring heats the gas to millions of degrees...
Evil is represented by a Marseille tough (Henri Vidal) who is dashingly good-looking but sort of dumb. He takes it on the lam to Paris in a stolen car, falls asleep at the wheel, cracks up, and hides out in a shack on the outskirts of Paris. There he is discovered by the neighborhood bum (Pierre Brasseur), a charming, aging lunk who drinks all night, sleeps till noon, lives off his ancient, hardworking mother, and sulks because nobody loves...
