Little known to his countrymen, 47-year-old Michel Debré is even less well known abroad-and what Western statesmen did know of him was scarcely calculated to delight them. Short, stocky and black-haired, Debré has the face of an irascible chipmunk, and in the past has often sounded like one. A brilliant lawyer and civil servant before World War II, an organizer of the Gaullist Resistance during the war, Debré after the war became known in the French Senate for his scathing attacks on the leaders of the Fourth Republic, his nationalistic outbursts against European...

...still-unfinished Parliament Building were Britain's Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, Iraq's durable ex-Premier and Strongman Nuri asSaid, and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, representing the nonmember U.S. as an observer. Presiding as host was small (5 ft. 6 in., 156 Ibs.), chipmunk-cheeked Adnan Menderes, Premier of Turkey, whose driving force has animated the Baghdad Pact from the outset, kept it alive when it was threatened with dissolution after Britain's invasion of Suez...
