...Indonesia, the militant wing of the party reportedly favors the formation of an underground army against the day when power will be seized by violence, while the majority believes in supporting President Sukarno in the hope that increasing chaos will boost the Communists to power. Meanwhile, the Russians are busy flattering Lenin Peace Prizewinner Sukarno, offering academic scholarships (100, compared with 19 by the Chinese), building and equipping a 200-bed hospital in Djakarta. In Cambodia and Burma, the Chinese Communists are ahead, capitalizing on their racial similarities and on large colonies of local Chinese. While Russian diplomats and technicians...
...Mustache. De Gaulle had hard words for the angry and dissident European settlers of Algeria, but he could never bring himself to name outright the Secret Army Organization, the fanatical underground that is fighting to keep Algeria French. Said he at one point: "S.A.O.? I don't know them." Yet the S.A.O. was everywhere making its power evident. In Algeria, its chief, Raoul Salan-under sentence of death in absentia -emerged from hiding for a secret TV interview with a CBS newsman. Appearing on film with a newly grown mustache, his white hair dyed black, ex-General Salan boasted...
Pandora's Box. Behind the President's carefully qualified words lay a decision already made: the U.S. will resume atomic testing in the atmosphere as soon as it can get ready to do so.

Now U.S. patience was exhausted...

Anderson and California's Representative Chet Holifield-the two senior Democrats on the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy-called last week in strong words for atmospheric tests. Said Anderson: "We must conduct atmospheric tests because the underground tests have not given us all the answers we need." Connecticut's Democrat Senator Thomas J. Dodd demanded a crash program of testing to develop a deadly neutron bomb (TIME, July 7), which scientists still consider several years away from reality. Added Georgia's Democratic Senator Richard B. Russell...
With broad sarcasm, Pravda Columnist S. Vishnevsky dismissed the budding U.S. atom-bomb shelter program. "If we could only open the eyes of those moles." he wrote recently, "they would surely see that there is no sense in hiding underground. But moles are unseeing creatures and moles of bourgeois origin suffer from class blindness." The sneer was less than convincing, for the writer must have known what most of the U.S. does not: the Soviet Union has been at work for more than a decade on a shelter program of its own, spending an estimated $500 million a year (current...
