...Paris, Communist Yves Peron denounced the pact's advocates as "men who collaborated with the Nazis and who are now ready to collaborate with the Americans on the same basis." Angry anti-Communist deputies chased him to the lobby; a Gaullist slapped him across both cheeks, drawing blood with a signet ring. Reinforcements rushed up and in no time a yelling, swaying free-for-all was on. Perspiring ushers in wing collars and tail coats barely managed to restore order...

Jose Yves Liman-tour III, grandson of Diaz' nimble-witted Secretary of Treasury, conducts the Jalapa Symphony Orchestra (TIME, Oct. 4); his father, Guillermo Limantour, is Mexico City's top real-estate operator, and owns large chunks of Avenida Juarez.

They had agreed beforehand on a new proposal for "settling" the Berlin crisis. Smith had their plan in his briefcase. Stalin greeted them genially. Before Smith had a chance to open his case, Stalin said: "Gentlemen, I have a plan. Here it is. I believe you will find it acceptable to your governments." Stalin's plan was almost identical with the one Smith carried. The Russians and the West had reached an agreement...
