...P.O.W.-M.I.A. (Missingin Action) Families for Immediate Release-who count some 300 relatives among the supporters of their stance-called a press conference in Washington to demand that the President set a definite withdrawal date in exchange for the release of the prisoners. The group's organizer, Mrs. Harold Kushner of Danville, Va., charged the Administration with "using the prisoner issue to buy time for the South Vietnamese government." Another member was more blunt. Said Mrs. Louis F. Jones: "They cannot use my husband to spread the blood of 45 young men a week on Viet...
POLITICS The First Casualty Harold Hughes raised the flag and no one saluted. Last week the U.S. Senator from Iowa accepted the obvious, announcing he had made a "clear-cut and irrevocable" decision not to seek the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination.

CARIBBEAN Bay of Piglets Revisited It was mocked as Britain's "Bay of Piglets," and one war correspondent cabled Fleet Street from the battlefield: "I say, chaps, the natives are friendly."

Licking Chops. Other would-be candidates look to other contests. Senator Henry Jackson could do well in Southern primaries. Wilbur Mills could carry his home state, Arkansas, by a decisive margin. Senators Harold Hughes and Fred Harris wait with dwindling patience in the wings. Humphrey has not yet decided whether to enter the primaries; he bypassed that route in 1968 and still won the nomination. Says Humphrey: "I'm not salivating, but I'm occasionally licking my chops." Senator Edward Kennedy appears unlikely to enter the primaries; his backers hope for a deadlocked convention that will turn...
Serious Split. Labor Party Leader Harold Wilson faces a more serious split in the ranks. Roy Jenkins, Labor's No. 2 man, has pledged firm support for British membership in the Common Market. The strongest support for British membership came from the irrepressible Lord George-Brown, Foreign Minister during Wilson's unsuccessful 1967 attempt to join the Common Market. In a speech to M.P.s, George-Brown said that the Tory-negotiated entry terms "looked better than some of us dared hope a few months...
