Still on its timetable, the European Common Market last week cut tariffs between its six member nations another 10%. The second 10% cut since the market got going, it will be followed by a third at the end of the year. Import quotas will not be completely abolished until the end of 1961, but voluntary liberalization has already brought free flow of a big range of industrial and consumer goods. The system is working so well-trade among the Six was up 29% and trade with the rest of the world up 8% last year-that West Germany will soon...
...real contact with ordinary citizens or confidence in their judgments. Since an assassination attempt three years ago, Diem is constantly surrounded by police; he has neither the desire nor the ability to be a folksy man of the people. The peasants, who blame the government for a one-third fall in the price of rice this year, view Diem as a remote and austere figure, while they must contend with nightly raids by Red terrorists.

After other warnings against a family tendency to gamble and speculate in wildcat stocks. Jack Kelly bade a moving farewell to all his loved ones: "Just remember, when I shove off for greener pastures, or whatever it is on the other side of the curtain, that I do it unafraid...
...meters, Oakland's great Ray Norton, 22, came from behind with his long, driving stride to finish in 10.4 sec. and barely beat out Villanova's Frank Budd. A tie for third made team mem bers of Paul Winder of Morgan State (Md.) and Duke's Dave Sime, the hard-luck star sprinter who pulled a muscle in 1956 and did not make the Olympic squad. In the 200 meters around a turn, Norton again rallied to win going away in 20.5 sec. to tie the world record...
