Brave Promises. To the Russians them selves, who already know too well the old dogmatic themes, the main eye-catcher was a gaudy catalogue of welfare benefits-free education, free school lunches, free rents, free transport, free electricity and water-that Soviet citizens are to have in 20 years.

In addition, the Navy will keep on duty...

A printer's devil at eight and the Air Transport Command's youngest World War II pilot at 18, influential Democrat Evans backed Lyndon Johnson for the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination, was recently appointed to the Johnson-led President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity...
