De Gaulle brusquely showed he would not tolerate extremist European defiance in Algiers, incidentally making clear that he blamed the Europeans, not the Moslems, for instigating the riots. Forty civil servants in Algeria, who had quit work in answer to the strike call of the extremist Front de l' Algérie Française, were sacked from their jobs and the Front itself ordered dissolved. The same fate was visited upon the Front's right-wing affiliate in France. The Europeans reacted with a numbed and disconsolate...
FELIX FRANKFURTER REMINISCES. More than 50 hours of recorded talk in answer to questions from a Columbia University historian show the many sides of the waspish, brainy lawyer and teacher whom F.D.R. elevated to the Supreme Court.

...areas specially selected to conform with national economic and population patterns. Interviewers check 75,000 to 80,000 people, about one-thousandth of the labor force. To everyone over 14 in each household they put several questions. The first: "What did you do most of the week?" If the answer is "worked," the interviewer goes no farther. If it is "nothing," the interviewer presses: "Did you work at all?" If the answer is still no, he asks: "Did you look for work?" He marks down as unemployed those who answer yes. The figures are fed into a Univac computer that...
