...uproar over the case of Army Specialist Third Class William S. Girard, and whether or not he should be tried by a Japanese court for the accidental shooting of a Japanese woman boils down to a heated argument over the much misunderstood status-of-forces agreements between the U.S. and 49 friendly countries. Just what do the agreements mean, and how well have they worked in the past? See NATIONAL AFFAIRS, The Girard Case and G.I.s in Foreign Courts...
...Sonali's misbehavior, many Indians could find less than no excuse for it.* Sonali sneaked out of the hotel once during the week to see a movie. The film: Anastasia, starring Oscar-winning Cinemactress In grid Bergman Rossellini. Ingrid, in Paris, kept determinedly calm about the Indian uproar.

Finally, Rear Admiral Miles H. Hubbard, U.S. representative on the joint commission which settles jurisdictional disputes, reluctantly ordered Girard turned over to the Japanese for trial with, he thought...
...blasphemous one man's opinion. There would certainly be an uproar if non-Catholics protested to Bishop Sheen's being on TV just because he reaches into the homes of thousands of Protestants. This was certainly a non-Christian attitude on the Rev. John E. Kelly's part, and possibly it is for this reason that so many "fairly well instructed Catholics may be 'deceived'"-or as I would say "converted...
