Rumanian-born Henri Coanda, 68, a successful inventor who lives in Paris, designed a primitive turbine-engine plane in 1909 and a scale-model saucer in 1947. But his great contribution to the art of making flying saucers was the principle he discovered in 1937: curving one side of a nozzle will deflect a jet blast to follow the curved side...
...Hanoi for two days, Ely inspected the wary defenses and conferred with IndoChina's Commanding General Henri Navarre and the northern-front commander, General Rene Cogny. During these days the generals outlined a new command strategy: 1) Concentrate! Cogny must pull back from isolated forts, must rally for modern battle at selected centers in the plains; 2) Reinforce! Cogny must have at least two fresh divisions, about 30,000 men, to prop up the delta's teetering 70,000-man garrison. Ely was also reportedly ready to recommend Navarre's recall.

The contributions soon arrived from seven: Georges Braque ("I search rather to put myself in unison with nature than to copy her"), Marc Chagall ("A painting is born into the world like a child").

This week the book (Eight European Artists, Heinemann, Ltd., London) was out with a message for posterity from the world's greatest...

Under Henri Queuille, the colorless compromiser, this technique made a name for itself: L'im-mobilisme. Queuille hung on as Premier for 388 days-a record for postwar France. Last week France's postwar Premier, Joseph Laniel, was hot on Queuille's trail. By an astute and unflagging practice of immobilisme, plus luck, Laniel passed the second-best (290-day) mark, set by Antoine Pinay, his arch rival in the Independent Party...
