Died. General Bernard Cyril ("Tiny") Freyberg, 74, New Zealand's hero of two world wars, proud possessor of nine battle wounds and many more decorations (including the Victoria Cross), a bluff, towering New Zealander who swam the Gulf of Saros o Gallipoli in 1915, dragging a raft of lares in a diversionary tactic against the Turks, in World War II led Imperial troops in Libya, bloody Crete and Italy, where he once squelched a U.S. genral's complaint that New Zealanders never saluted with the crack, "Try waving at them and they'll wave back," returned home...
...Imitators. Such has been the history of the Peace Corps that it has inspired, in the two short years of its existence, no fewer than twelve other nations to try to follow suit. They are: Argentina, Belgium, El Salvador, France, Great Britain, Honduras, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, The Netherlands and West Germany. Last January, an International Peace Corps Secretariat, geared to building more Peace Corps from more countries, was set up in Washington. Just last week President Kennedy (who was accompanied on his European trip by his sister, Sargent Shriver's wife Eunice, standing in for the expectant...
...Zealand's Peter Snell: the invitational 880 at the Southern Pacific Association A.A.U. Championships in Los Angeles, in the good, but not great, time of 1 min. 48 sec. Fresh from his flashy 3-min.-54.9-sec.-mile victory over Jim Beatty at Modesto, Calif. (TIME, May 31), the brawny world record-holder at both 880 yds. (1 min. 45.1 sec.) and one mile (3 min. 54.4 sec.) easily outclassed six opponents. In the same meet, Beatty won the mile, breezing in at 4 min. 00.8 sec. > France's Relko: the 184th English Derby, by six lengths...
...officers throughout Britain. But this does not explain the British migration fever. Canada, which actively solicits only professional workers such as nurses and scientists and does not subsidize their passage, expects the 1963 influx from Britain to be double or triple last year's 16,055 total. New Zealand immigration officials say that they too have had a "fantastic" surge of applications. "We're just trying to hold them off," says one. "We just don't have all that much room." One-third more Britons have also applied for permanent visas to the U.S., though...
...Frankly, I don't understand all the fuss about this meet," said New Zealand's Peter Snell, 24, on the eve of the California Relays at Modesto, Calif. Lounging beside a motel pool, arm in arm with his bride of two weeks, the world's fastest miler (3 min. 54.4 sec.) hardly looked like a man facing the sternest test of his career. He dismissed his chief competitor, the U.S.'s Jim Beatty, a 3-min. 56.3-sec. miler, with a scornful shrug: "This Beatty doesn't hold any decent record at all." He snorted...
