For the Record

The United States Court of Appeals has upheld the right of the State Department to refuse to issue a passport on the basis of confidential information. The case in point was the Department’s refusal to authorize foreign travel for a Corning, New York, cosmic ray physicist, Weldon Bruce Dayton, who has been known to associate with Communist Party members…. The Supreme Court has turned down still another appeal—the seventh—of convicted atom spy Morton Sobell….The Emergency Civil Liberties Union (vice chairman, Corliss Lamont) assures all those “hounded” by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that they are not legally bound to talk to FBI agents.

More than 80 per cent of the American working force received paid vacations of three or more weeks in 1957, according to a recent bank report. In contrast, just ten years ago, in 1947, only 16.6 per cent received three weeks vacation.
