President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Kishi of Japan meet today with the 1954 United States Japan Security Treaty and the status of forces accord on the agenda. Kishi also seeks Okinawa governance voice, release of WWII war criminals, and steps to boost trade with Red China and Southeast Asia.

The Socialist rivals seize on disputes from the pact as they contend U.S. control over troop movements in Japan without Japanese consultation. Girard, a U.S. sergeant, is charged in Japan with inflicting bodily injury resulting in death after a field test at Somagahara Range north of Tokyo.

The article predicts Bourges-Maunoury will largely maintain the Algeria status quo while hoping for a peaceful Paris Washington stance. It cautions of cabinet and tax risks, noting France’s postwar tendency toward unstable leadership as Coty may seek a replacement premier if tax plans fail.
A veteran columnist notes Senator Richard L Neu berger of Oregon fights a proposed law to curb roadside advertising on the $40 billion super highway project. The writer argues the bill is repeatedly softened in committees and may only modestly curb sign painters if enacted, reflecting the influence of billboard interests amid discussions of a new parkway corridor toward Mary land.
The old westward highway earned the Death Alley nickname for fatal crashes and dense roadside commerce from motels to tombstone shops. A new divided road with grassy parkways promises safer driving, though questions arise about the new signage and traffic flow between the cities.
A New York City to Buffalo highway is praised for its scenery but criticised for its near absence of billboards. The author laments monotony, suggests red signs would keep drivers awake, and hopes Neuberger’s ban would include occasional vermilion on rocks.
