...form of a reply to Mrs. Shirley Jean Havens, 21, wife of Arvada (Colo.) Plumber William M. Havens, and mother of two. Last November she wrote the President asking for a statement of Republican principles. (Two months later she was tactfully scouted by Ike's old friend, Denver Banker Aksel Nielsen, who subsequently promised she would be answered by TV and swore her to secrecy.) "It is true," said Ike, "that government has to do many things which, individually, we cannot do for ourselves . . . But the principle still holds true; governments must refrain from unnecessary meddling in the daily...
...proposal, coming almost five months after the commission's recommendations, was promptly attacked as a belated Republican attempt to grab political credit on a hot election issue-especially since Rogers is Vice President Nixon's close friend and adviser. While Dixiecrats maneuvered to send Rogers' proposal to the limbo of Mississippi's Senator James 0. Eastland's Judiciary Committee, liberals lamented the last-minute torpedoing of the registrar plan, to which they are heavily committed. But Rogers seemed to have the last and most effective word: the referee plan, he said, had been presented...
...best indication of Stevenson's fadeout came from Attorney James Doyle of Madison, Wis., a longtime Stevenson friend and advocate, who last fortnight sent out word of an important press conference to announce the formation of a national draft-Stevenson movement, with himself as chairman and chief strategist.

Condemned to death by the Hitler regime, Bela Varga hid in a church cellar, was sometimes sheltered by his lifelong friend, Josef Cardinal Mindszenty. Soviet "liberation"' saw his death sentence reaffirmed by the NKVD; but he was released after 14 days in prison. In Soviet-occupied Hungary's only free election in 1945, the Smallholders Party won a resounding majority, later installed Father Varga as Speaker of Parliament...
...Hungarian village of Balatonboglar became a haven for hapless victims of the crushing Nazi advance-50,000 Polish soldiers and civilians, fleeing the Nazis and Soviets, and later, some 2,200 French soldiers who escaped from Nazi prison camps after the Battle of France. All found a firm, resourceful friend in the pastor of Balatonboglar, a Father Bela Varga, whose Church of the Sacred Cross became the center of refugee relief. Many of the refugees got away to fight again. Others, especially imperiled Jews, got forged documents from Father Varga that enabled them to settle down in Hungary...
