Paper bathing suits and free speech in Eisenhower era
The piece discusses a New York exhibit showing paper bathing suits treated with Melostrength resin and the public’s fear of water damage. It then shifts to President Eisenhower defending free speech amid McCarthyism, urging Americans to protect rights to read and publish ideas even when opposed. The writer argues against elected officials dictating thought and suggests McCarthy could reform by resigning to become a prosecutor, restoring legal safeguards.

No Sharp Cut in Draft Is Visioned
Washington defense officials warned against expecting a sharp drop in draft calls if a Korea truce is reached. Maj. Gen. E. C. Lynch said calls would remain about 23,000 monthly for months, with only a gradual decline thereafter. Secretary Wilso n said it would take at least six months before reductions in the Army in Korea could begin. The position insists a truce will not bring final peace and warns against a public rush to “bring the boys home.” Fal, and a stray line about kissing hosts appears in the piece.
