Three weeks after the rioting throngs in Tokyo forced the cancellation of President Eisenhower's visit to Japan, one section of the Japanese people got their first chance to express their feelings on 1) how they felt about the new U.S.-Japanese security pact, and 2) Premier Nobusuke Kishi, whose Liberal Democrats had approved it. The vote took place in relatively remote Aomori prefecture, which is coincidentally the site of one of the largest U.S. Air Force bases in Japan. There Liberal Democrat Governor Iwao Yamazaki was running for reelection. His Socialist opponent went all out to argue that...
Last week Bremen had on display a huge (305 square yards) section of Lurçat's Le Chant du Monde, which will eventually be almost double that in size. "All the monumental arts," says Lurçat, "are having some kind of renaissance. In Sao Paulo, Tokyo, Caracas, Geneva, it is the same-the architects are making huge new buildings with great nude walls that cry out for tapestries."

Stanton Delaplane, whose travel column is syndicated even more widely than Horace Sutton's, insists on paying his own hotel bills-but demands a 25% commercial discount in the U.S. A CAB ruling prohibits airlines from letting newsmen fly free on scheduled flights, but some travel editors evade the ruling by selling "reprint rights" of their articles to the airlines for the price of the fare-plus a few extra dollars to make the transaction look better...
...Skate. Since Skate is almost as fast as any surface vessel and can dodge like a rabbit, the U.S. destroyer leader Norfolk had little chance of touching her with conventional antisub weapons. But on the Norfolk's afterdeck a clumsy-looking box swung like a gun turret. A section of it tilted, doors popped open, and with a screaming roar a slender rocket slanted upward, trailing a feather of flame. Near the top of the climb the engine section separated, and as the missile curved down toward the sea, two more pieces fell off, releasing a small parachute...
