Western diplomats believe the Soviets are holding up further Sputnik launchings until agreement is reached on a date for a summit meeting…. Perón’s followers claim that not only were they responsible for Fron-dizi’s election, but that a study of the voting shows that Perón himself could have been elected. A prominent diplomat, with firsthand experience in Argentine politics, predicts that Perón will be permitted to return to Buenos Aires in the near future. … The UN Economic Commission for Europe reports substantially increased farm output in the captive Soviet nations of Eastern Europe in 1957—the result of unusually good weather, and radically liberalized policies toward the private farmer. State farms did not report the same proportionate increases.

For the first time since the Supreme Court granted a retrial to Communists convicted under the Smith Act, one of them, Junius Irving Scales, has been reconvicted and resentenced—to six years. . . . Washington newsmen are beginning to hound the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee about its annual report, scheduled for release last January. Six of the eight Senators on the Committee have signed it, but Administration forces are keeping it bottled up, raising doubts as to whether it will ever be released. It is said to contain documentary dynamite in the case of Canadian Ambassador Norman, who committed suicide in Cairo.
