...longstanding doubts about the Eisenhower-Dulles disarmament policy came to a boil last month when a panel of U.S. scientists who had found that detection of nuclear tests was dependable -the scientific underpinning of the Eisenhower-Dulles policy -reversed themselves and admitted that underground blasts even up to Hiroshima size were not detectable (TIME, Jan. 12). Thus the Russians could presumably cheat on any agreement at will. AEC Chairman John McCone, onetime (1950-51) Air Force Under Secretary, decided to submit to Secretary Dulles, through proper channels, an interim plan based on the principle that the U.S. should agree...
...Announcement!" shouted Rebel Major Humberto Sori Marin from the concrete arena of the Havana Sports Palace. "This man is being tried for murder and robbery." The crowd of 15,000 roared its approval. "And he is an assassin," added Sori Marin, chief of the three-man panel charged with deciding guilt or innocence. "You know what the sentiments of Fidel Castro are about this trial," he said, and thoughtfully told the spectators: "Do not throw pop bottles...
...Notices. Most of the 350 foreign newsmen, brought to Cuba by Castro for the show, filed shocked reports. They were unaccustomed to the normal standards of Cuban jurisprudence, which permits trials by a panel of judges instead of a jury, admission of hearsay evidence. But they indignantly faulted the trials for the open prejudice of the judges, the popcorn-munching atmosphere, the haste, the catering to the mob's thirst for blood. Cracked one reporter: "Where do the lions come in?" Castro's bad press notices mounted, from Buenos Aires, Rio, Lima, Bogota, Mexico City. "The laurels have...
...October while the AEC made underground tests in faraway Nevada. The rock waves came through all right, but not quite as strongly as had been anticipated. At distances above 700 miles, only explosions of more than 20 kilotons could be identified clearly as manmade. To sum up, said the panel, the 180-station detection system might be confronted by 1,500, not 100, natural seismic shocks a year that could not be distinguished from an underground test explosion. This number would presumably overburden the checking system as presently outlined...
...enormous social security fund (current reserves: $22 billion) really secure between the time the wage earner is nibbled and the time he begins to get his payments? Yes, reported a Congress-created advisory council on social security financing, a panel of 13 businessmen, labor leaders, university professors and insurance actuaries. Their summary: the financing of the Old Age and Survivors' Insurance system is "sound, practical and appropriate...
