...carefully planned presidential leadership. In the nation's first Sputnik uneasiness, the President planned a series of five TV talks to tell the people where the U.S. stood and what it had to do. When illness hit, Ike had made only two of the speeches. The third, an appeal for support of the Administration's foreign aid program, was delivered in part by Labor Secretary James P.

Jeers & Contempt. Last week, after Okinawa's High Court and the Ryukyus legislature refused to interfere, Army Lieut. General James E. Moore, the U.S. High Commissioner, intervened.

Early this year Congress turned down President Eisenhower's appeal for such a study, and almost every previous Congressional investigation has turned into a partisan political probe. Last week the Committee for Economic Development announced receipt of a $500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation for the first full-scale inquiry into U.S. monetary policies since the Aldrich Commission of 1908, which laid the foundation of the Federal...
