...China (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). In Moscow the Soviet press blustered that, if the U.S. and Red China came to blows, Russia would help Peking "with everything at its disposal." Peking itself, in a move clearly designed to lend color to future charges of "aggression" by the U.S., proclaimed that henceforth the limit of its territorial waters would be not three but twelve miles. This would mean, if the Reds could make it stick, that all of Quemoy and Matsu would be in Red China's waters...
Last week Msgr. Henri Alexandre Chappoulie, bishop of Angers, came out solidly for funerary equality: henceforth his diocese (about 120 miles south of Paris) will permit only one class of funeral. (Exception: if the dead held an important place in the community, in which case "more priests or a bigger choir than usual" might be in order.) Specifications for the bishop's standard funeral will correspond to the undertakers' Class 4-two priests, one cantor, two choirboys, no deacon or archdeacon, no draperies or crape, six candles on the altar and eight at the catafalque.

French West Africa's most noted political leader is Félix Houphouet-Boigny, sophisticated mayor of the Ivory Coast's capital of Abidjan and a minister of state in De Gaulle's Cabinet. Says...
...large and serious disease field. After 20 years of vigorous life, during which it raised $560 million (virtually all from the March of Dimes), the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis announced last week a change of name and a raising of its sights against far commoner ills than polio. Henceforth to be called simply the National Foundation, the aggressive organization that spent $34 million on the research that produced (among other gains) the Salk vaccine * will turn its attention to two other cripplers: the rheumatic diseases and defects present in children at birth...
