...Girl Was a Boy. Only in the Low Countries have parliamentarians shown any real enthusiasm for EDC. The Netherlands' lower chamber ratified EDC by 75 votes to 11 (TIME, Aug. 3). A special committee of the Belgian Parliament has also approved the text, but Belgian lawyers insist that a constitutional amendment is needed...
...again for all to see. Spain's stiff-necked Archbishop of Seville, Cardinal Segura, had last year issued one of his pastoral letters protesting even the rudimentary privileges the Franco government gives to Protestantism. This had set off a riffle of objections from U.S. Roman Catholics, who insist that Segura's views are typically Spanish and anachronistic.

Niagara development does not involve flood control, irrigation or reclamation; the only big issue is whether private or public power is to develop Niagara's 1,500,000 potential kilowatts. The utilities insist that they can build a hydroplant for millions less than the Government or the state, and without dipping into federal funds. Their rates would probably be slightly higher than those set by public power, but the difference would be repaid with $23 million a year in taxes, which public projects do not have...
