...General of Allied Forces, Central Europe, to point out last week that "apart perhaps from the U.S. and Canada," many NATO members "have not kept their promises," are guilty of "moral disengagement." If this continues, he added, "General Norstad and I will be obliged to conceal no longer the fact that we cannot carry out our mission. The Belgians and the Dutch are not usable for the moment. The French forces are in Algeria." Furthermore, NATO's 30 reserve divisions, theoretically ready 30 days after the start of hostilities, do not for all practical purposes exist...
...population are a prosperous minority, irksome to Indonesia's nationalists and as politically aloof as ever. In the euphoric aftermath of the 1955 Bandung Conference, Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai negotiated with Indonesia a curious treaty giving the Chinese settlers the option of either citizenship; but, in fact, nearly 75% retain Red China passports. Last year President Sukarno closed down Nationalist Chinese schools and shops-to Peking's delight. But last May, Sukarno made it plain that all Chinese were eventually to be hobbled. He ordered some 80,000 rural "alien" businessmen, worth $65 million, to move...
...Italian war cry, Fiorello! matches up with La Guardia, telling the story of New York City's Little Flower from the time he first ran for Congress until his second and successful bid for mayor.

...time dinner was served, Hostess Holstein had lost all her anxiety, was as calm and unhurried as if a horde of servants had prepared the meal. That, in fact, was just what had happened. Except for the cooking water and seasoning, almost every bite of the appetizing meal she placed before her guests had been washed, cut, peeled, shelled, precooked, mixed and apportioned by "factory maids" long before it reached her hands. After cocktails and hors d'oeuvres (frozen), Mrs. Holstein began her meal with shrimp (frozen) in cocktail sauce (prepared), a green salad (fresh) with Swiss dressing (from...
Cooked-ln Religion. The revolution toward convenience wins a new battle-and explodes into new products-almost every week. General Foods' Mortimer chafes at the fact that there are just so many vegetables, so he has put his company to work creating "new" vegetables. General Foods separately purees two vegetables (e.g., carrots and peas), joins them together in frozen sticks called Rolletes, which are now being test-marketed. It is working on the first frozen mixed-green salad, is test-marketing a new line of baby foods, which are partially dehydrated, then frozen; the baby foods come...
