Last week Tito took the wraps off some of his 300,000 troops, and the jest proved just a jest. In Ljubljana gap, the mountain corridor leading from the Hungarian plains to Zagreb, Rijeka and Trieste, a group of military observers and reporters from six NATO nations watched while 65,000 Yugoslavs maneuvered. Spruce and high-spirited, they were divided into an "aggressor" force and a defending force covering Zagreb. They maneuvered with Sherman tanks, trucks, jeeps, 90-mm. guns, U.S.-made F47 fighters (World War II's Thunderbolts) and British Mosquitoes, and they handled them with facility...
While the Council deserves praise for initiating and--until now--maintaining the exchange program, this incident underlines the mistake of cherishing independence above cooperation. It is now too late to avoid the one-year gap in the German exchange plan, but this breakdown should show the Council the folly of headstrong separation from University Hall...
...market; consumers have turned to oil and gas for cheaper fuel. The sickness was happily concealed immediately after World War II because both European and Asian coal mines were out of commission, and the U.S. exported shipload after shipload of coal to fill the gap.

And no greater damage could be inflicted on a shaky, free world economy than to saddle nations with high-priced U.S. coal. (It costs about...
...Into the Gap. By the time Winchell got to the big radio money in 1944, Edgar Bergen was the world's most successful ventriloquist. But was it ventriloquism? On a sightless medium, it was less an illusion than high aural comedy by a man with a natural wit and an educated larynx. Television was another matter. Bergen, his technique rusty after radio, made a few exploratory TV appearances, then went off to semi-retirement to think things over and work on his movie autobiography (From Little Acorns). Into the gap streaked Winchell, his ventriloquial skills razor-sharp...
Delving deeper gives some clues to this satisfied feeling. On foreign affairs, he has filled a gap left by F.D.R. and has given them a secure feeling that everything is in hand and under control. I found a widespread aversion to being whipped up in crises every so often, and Ike hasn't whipped them up. Russia, for the time being, it seemed to many people I talked to, has all the trouble it can handle in its own backyard. Ike's relaxed and confident handling of Korea was fine, and they are sure that somehow...
