...several years' experience, said, while processing my papers, "This is the first time I can ever remember men standing on line to join the Army," and he was not exaggerating. So many men rushed to take advantage of the short hitch, that by May, 1957, the Army had to stop accepting enlistments. Over 3,000 men a week were joining; the previous high was about a thousand. The program was reopened on a limited basis during the summer, but in many locales there are still waiting lists...
...scraped off the snow And what do you know, Here's a ticket frozen on to an icicle; It just goes to show That rain, sleet and snow Won't stop the brave cop on the tricycle...
...President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles on a critical point of U.S. foreign policy. The point: the President's decision, effective since midnight Oct. 31, to suspend all U.S. nuclear tests for one year, and to continue suspension if there was a prospect of reaching a workable stop-test agreement with the Russians at Geneva. The AEC's great concern: test stoppage without foolproof safeguards might undermine the U.S. nuclear power that had kept the world's peace since...
...detectable (TIME, Jan. 12). Thus the Russians could presumably cheat on any agreement at will. AEC Chairman John McCone, onetime (1950-51) Air Force Under Secretary, decided to submit to Secretary Dulles, through proper channels, an interim plan based on the principle that the U.S. should agree to stop only those tests that could be policed, resume those that could not. Key points: ¶ Stop atmospheric tests -detectable -which spread fallout and stir up world opinion; police this stoppage by overflights of Russia and the U.S. ¶ Continue experiments with underground shots to see whether a foolproof detection system...
...evidence was nonetheless piling up that U.S. policymakers, along with the AEC, were beginning to pause for second sober thought. Most members of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy have turned against the idea of stopping all nuclear tests until foolproof inspection can be guaranteed. The likelihood increased that the Senate would probably refuse to ratify a nuclear treaty without such safeguards. Thus at week's end the McCone plan of agreeing to stop the atmosphere tests only -while continuing to seek methods of detecting underground tests -seemed to make good sense. If the Russians were sincere...
