...pistol that Chessman had tossed away when the pursuing patrol car caught up with him. Witnesses also said that a pen flashlight found in the grey Ford looked like one that the bandit had used. The prosecution produced a nut, found in Chessman's pocket when he was arrested, and charged that he had used it in attaching red cellophane to the spotlight on the car. A plainclothesman who had interrogated Chessman the day after his arrest testified that he made several statements linking him to the red-light crimes, including an admission that the 17-year-old girl...
...kind of Alice-in-Wonderland logic was visible in the arrest of scores of teen-age Hungarians-many of whom had left Hungary as children, had no politics now, and added gaiety to the exile gathering by singing songs and dancing the czardas. But no brand of logic served to explain the internment of a clutch of former Spanish Loyalists for whom the only important enemy remains Generalissimo Franco.

Chough was again severely beaten up, this time in Taegu...
Canceled Cruise. For Algeria's European settlers, the most ominous move of all was the jailing (on charges of "plotting against the security of the state") of 48-year-old Publisher de Sérigny. A World War II Pétainist who barely escaped arrest when the Free French reached Algiers, bald, spectacled Alain de Sérigny has long been the uncontested respectable leader of Algiers' European community, helped incite by his savage editorials the settlers' 1956 manhandling of Premier Guy Mollet (TIME, Feb. 20, 1956) and the 1958 uprising that sparked De Gaulle...
