Like a specialist called in to diagnose a serious infection but not permitted to bring all his instruments along, the U.N. observer team sent in September to Laos to investigate charges of Communist Viet Nam aggression was hamstrung by explicit instructions to simply look and listen. Otherwise, U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge might never have succeeded in his adroit procedural move to create the Laos subcommittee over Russia's negative vote. An investigation would have been subject to Soviet veto, but Lodge's lawyers had found a veto-proof 1946 precedent for "a subcommittee of inquiry" that could...
...even by the common rice they ate (Laotians eat glutinous rice). Ten captured Pathet Lao rebels admitted that from one-third to one-half of their units were filled out by North Vietnamese. But when the Laotian government was unable to produce any North Viet Nam prisoners, the U.N. team (a Tunisian, a Japanese, an Italian and an Argentinian) was forced to conclude that it could "not clearly establish whether there were crossings of the frontier by regular troops of the Democratic Republic of [North] Viet...
...Says he: "I had to catch up with front-running CBS." This year, Kintner can point to a more exciting NBC season, including 200 specials, a weekly drama show (Sunday Showcase), ambitious news coverage on Khrushchev's visit. (As he had at ABC, Kintner strengthened the NBC news team.) The feeling in the TV industry is that Kintner made his concessions to quality reluctantly, and largely because he was forced to by last year's torrent of criticism...
...ionized particles the explosions created were picked up by the earth's magnetic field and lofted in arching curves around the earth in a man-made imitation of the Van Allen radiation belts. This effect was expected and was duly observed by U.S. scientists. But a team of the Army's Fort Monmouth men, led by Dr. Hans A. Bomke, was quietly watching for subtler effects. To pick up the faint traces they were looking for, they had to establish a widespread network of magnetometers, enlisted the help of Sweden, Iceland and Portugal. At each site, a huge...
...scientists followed the waves halfway round the earth and then lost track of them. But since the Argus tests, the Fort Monmouth team has noticed other waves that travel in the same high duct of plasma, apparently started by electrified particles slamming in from the sun. The Signal Corps is continuing to study its newfound duct. But when its scientists are asked whether they hope to find practical uses in communication, their military chaperons stop the conversation...
