...member-P.T.A. council. When the P.T.A. at one grade school invited Attorney Amis Guthridge of the White Citizens' Council to state his pro-Faubus case, Guthridge merely grumbled a few words to the packed auditorium and sat down. Later he called the meeting "a trap," spoke darkly of "leftwing" P.T.A. leaders rigging "Communist-like demonstrations" at other schools. Such old saws cut no ice.

Up to 20% of Bristol Bay red salmon runs in 1957 bore the telltale scars of long, fine-meshed Japanese gill nets, which can be strung to form a solid, ten-mile barrier across the ocean. By using these nets, say U.S. fishermen, the Japanese kill many immature, Alaska-born salmon and violate the intent of a 1953 treaty designed to prevent the Japanese...
