...will recommend some fundamental revisions in the U.N. charter, when it comes up for review in 1955. Suggested changes: 1) a strict atomic-age disarmament plan; 2) a broad change in the voting system, including an overhaul of the Great Power veto in the Security Council; 3) a written code of international law behind the charter, to which all nations would subscribe...

The question was highly pertinent because the GPO prints, along with its many dull governmental publications, secret military reports, and advance texts of important documents like Supreme Court decisions and the U.S. budget. Rothschild refused to answer, ducked behind the Fifth Amendment. Had he ever stolen a secret code from the office? Had he spied against the U.S.? The answers were the same-no answer.

Explained one young working housewife: "My husband can be well dressed for almost any occasion with only two or three suits in his wardrobe. But with me it's different. Maybe I can transform an office dress with the addition of a rose or a jewel, but you can do just so much of this and get by. A dress that goes well at a cocktail party might fit in at a wedding, but the chances are it won't." Just how this exacting code arose...
