...plan for Algerian self-determination (TIME, Sept. 28). Most of the deputies from Algeria boycotted the session, and the Gaullist U.N.R. Party was shaken by the angry resignation of nine right-wingers, who considered any concessions-even talks with the rebels-as the first step toward France's total loss of Algeria. "I refuse all solutions of compromise," cried tough Colonel Robert ("Leather Nose") Thomazo, as he walked...

The huge flow of long-term U.S. investment, which since the war has filled the trade gap, is slackening.

Symphony. The New York Philharmonic returned in triumph from its ten-week, ANTA-sponsored tour of Europe and the Near East, was greeted at Carnegie Hall with a red carpet, laurel-draped boxes, and placards reading "Welcome Home, International Heroes!"

Nonfarm employment was holding even at around 52 million, while total unemployment declined to 3,200,000, or 5.6% of the labor force; not counting the 500,000 steel strikers, unemployment had increased only about ½% since the 5% low set in July. Personal income in August dropped only about $2.6 billion from the $381.6 billion peak, and retail sales were...
