Bohlen recalled to Washington as Soviet affairs adviser
Bruce Biassat notes Charles E Bohlen, a seasoned Russian expert and former ambassador to the Soviet Union, is being recalled from Manila to Washington to serve as a special adviser to Secretary of State Herter. Critics warn against elevating him to principal adviser, but supporters insist his talents will aid U S policy at a pivotal time. Bohlen’s appointment requires no Senate confirmation and could commence in October.

Ships for defense and the role of American liners
Maritime Affairs argues that an ocean liner serves as a first line of defense in war and supports a defense-ready U S merchant fleet. Admiral Radford notes that the United States could transport an army division across the Atlantic in four days, underpinning the 1936 Merchant Marine Act. The Navy backs liner conversion features, accepting higher costs to ensure rapid wartime use and national defense through American-owned passenger ships.
