THIRD FORCE

   OED has a French 1956 for "Third World."  I noticed a lot of "One World" in 1946.
   This appears to be close; I'll keep looking.  From the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 22 March 1952, pg. 8, col. 5:

_Bevan's "Third Force"_
----------------------
_His Idea Criticized as Playing_
   _Into Hands of Russians_
To the New York Herald Tribune:
   Aneurin Bevan, British Laborite, has finally hit on a novel plan to safeguard the peace and make the world safe for Socialism.  His advocacy of a Third Force strikes us as not only impractical but downright absurd.  (...)

PINA FRIA

   From the same issue of the NYHT, 22 March 1952, pg. 9, col. 7:

_Eating, Drinking in Puerto Rico_
(...)
   In much the manner of Trader Vic of Oakland, Calif., the Caribe-Hilton has taken over the whole world of rums and the knowledge and understanding thereof.  Go into the sea-breeze cooled bar and they present you a menu titled"Bebidas Tropicals," listing eighteen rum drinks.  Pina Fria has music in its name; two fingers of cold fresh pineapple juice are blended with one and one-half ounces o white Puerto Rican rum and a half teaspoon of sugar.  Shake with fine ice; strain into a champagne glass.

(No Pina Colada--ed.)
