South Carolina's Democratic Senator J. Strom Thurmond looked across the witness table at Arthur Sylvester, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, and asked: "What is the soh'ce of yo' policy?"

Simple choral arrangements led to triteness: in Sanchez Malaya's Pues Bien Yo Necesito, a movingly bitter solo jarred badly with a sleepy, hummed background. The same happened in The Beggar's Opera songs when several jaunty soloists livened up the bland arrangement of an essentially impersonal chorus.

Next year the center will start on a far harder project-safeguarding underground shelters where workers and sightseers could wait out heavy fallout. Says Center President G. S. Eyssell: "We hope and pray that the thing we're preparing for will never happen...
...dispatched to the locals telling them they were free to go on strike if they had no agreement on local issues when the national deadline came. Piqued Government officials agreed that Reuther had blundered badly with his telegram, mistakenly believing that he had his members on a Yo-Yo, could call them out for a few days to put a bit of extra pressure on G.M. and then send them back...
