...strike pressure by delaying or destroying the back-to-work injunction handed down in Pittsburgh Oct. 21 by U.S. District Judge Herbert P. Sorg. Union Lawyer Arthur Goldberg, though losing a 2-to-1 decision appealing the case to the Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, won Supreme Court agreement to review his arguments that 1) Taft-Hartley injunction procedure is unconstitutional, and 2) in seeking the injunction on the ground of damage to "national health and safety," the U.S. had not proved that there was real damage. His delay tactics had won two extra weeks or more for the strike...
Spokesman for the important policy change was the U.S.'s No. 2 diplomat, Under Secretary of State (for Economic Affairs) C. Douglas Dillon. "Either we move ahead to get rid of outmoded trade restrictions," he told the 54 nations represented at the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) meeting in Tokyo, "or we can expect a resurgence of protectionism and restrictive action." Two days later he told members of the America-Japan Society: "During the era of the so-called 'dollar shortage' we were disposed to be passive about foreign discriminations against our exports...
...York's Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller moved out to the tougher side of the Eisenhower Administration, argued on a TV show that the U.S. ought to resume nuclear testing-presumably on Dec. 31, the date President Eisenhower has set as the deadline for a workable Russian agreement on test inspection.

Minnesota Democrat Hubert Humphrey, chairman of the Senate Disarmament Subcommittee, countered...
...advisers generally agree that the present situation of suspended testing, without any check on possible Russian underground or space explosions, is clearly unsatisfactory. At the year-old nuclear-test talks with the Russians at Geneva (resumed last week), the U.S. has made major concessions without getting any workable inspection agreement. Moreover, the U.S., in recalculating the results of its underground shot in October 1958, has discovered that underground explosions below 20 kilotons (about Hiroshima size) cannot accurately be detected by known seismographic instruments (TIME, Jan. 12). Meanwhile, the U.S. has had to hold up development of "clean" (low-fallout) bombs...
With justice, the agreement to return Trieste to Italy was widely hailed as a triumph of U.S. diplomacy-the happiest feasible outcome of a territorial dispute that had long poisoned relations between Italy and Marshal Tito's Yugoslavia. But this week, as the fifth anniversary of the great day approached, no one felt like putting out more flags. When Trieste's Mayor Mario Franzil laid a wreath in the piazza in memory of pro-Italian rioters killed during the Allied occupation, only the pigeons looked on. After five years of Italian rule, once flourishing Trieste is dying economically...
