Warren sees the whole world picture, and since he became Chief Justice, he has an opportunity to be the real statesman. Present and past problems have been and are of such a nature that it takes some sort of left turn to meet them. I do not know of any such problem ever having been solved by a turn to the right...
...Manila last week for the tenth anniversary of Philippine independence (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS) bearing a document that bolstered Filipino national pride more than all the speeches, parades and fireworks of the young nation's U.S. style Fourth of July. The document: a U.S. agreement to "transfer and turn over to the Philippines" full and unqualified title to ownership of "all land areas used either in the past or presently as military bases" by the U.S. in the Philippines...
President Magsaysay, staunch friend of the U.S., convinced Secretary of State Dulles during his visit to Manila last March that the U.S. position should be changed in the interests of both countries.

Cone, a safety director for a Teterboro, N.J. factory, taught six year-old Carin to swim for a perfectly prosaic reason: he did not want to worry when the family went holidaying on the Jersey shore. But Ray Cone knew an athlete when he saw one. Little Carin took to the water so naturally that he sent her to a swimming coach to find out how good she really was. Today, at 16, Carin is good enough to hold all four American women's backstroke titles...
