...U.A.W., driving hard for the Democrats, has contributed strategists, speech-writers and great financial support to Swainson. And in a state where memories of the skull-cracking industrial disputes of the '30s are still vivid, union politicians are not above fanning class strife. Says an A.F.L.-C.I.O. pamphlet circulating in Michigan: "The people voting against you are the bankers, the merchants, the car dealers, the big industries, the utilities-all the fat cats who make money whether you have...
...also been in some wrong places. Born in Canada, son of a low commission cooky-and-tobacco salesman, he grew up in Port Huron, Mich., got his U.S. citizenship after he joined the Army fresh out of high school in 1943.

But another reason is historical and geographical accident: Tito's Yugoslavia, Albania's archenemy and neighbor, is currently the favorite target for Chinese criticism, and Albania may figure that "the enemy of my enemy...
...segregation unconstitutional, the Southern Education Reporting Service last week issued a mixed progress report. For the first time, in fall 1960, the South opened its public schools without a shred of violence-not a single riot or bombing disturbed the peace. But not one Negro child as yet attends class with whites in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina or Louisiana.* And out of 3,095,345 Negro pupils in all Southern public schools, only 183,104 attend integrated classes in 1960. Compared to last year, the gain is a slim...
