...m.p.h. breached sea walls, wrecked the Ryukyus Command building, reduced 3rd Marine Division headquarters to rubble and killed a military policeman. While Okinawa's 40,000 Americans shook inside their typhoon-proof but half-flooded houses, World War II Quonset huts were hurled into paddies and wrapped around telegraph poles. Thirty-five hours later, Okinawans found 7,000 homes and 80 public buildings totally destroyed, 27 fishing boats wrecked. Gone was 40% of the island's precious rice crop, 80% of the sweet-potato crop, and 60% of the sugar cane. Estimated damage to U.S. military installations...

Both they and their companies realize that it will give them invaluable experience; they will meet the top men in their fields, learn to talk and think on their feet. When Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Vice President George M. Dean, whose special baby is Seattle's United Good Neighbor fund, first started tapping junior executives in 1952, he got just ten men; last year he got 48 men from 30 companies...
...Secrets. One day last week at teatime, Nasser's government rounded up two Britons and half a dozen Egyptians. Shortly thereafter, the Egyptian information chief announced that the two Englishmen-James Swinburn, 51, of the British-owned Arab News Agency and Charles Pittuck, 47, of the Marconi Radio & Telegraph Co. had made a "complete confession." According to the government spokesman, Swinburn headed "a dangerous espionage ring which worked for British intelligence and supplied it with information about the Egyptian armed forces."
