Predictably, all this made no detectable dent in the iron-clad convictions of the House's high-tariff camp, led by Pennsylvania's husky Republican Representative Richard M. Simpson. Tariffanatic Simpson is bent on pushing through an amendment that would, in effect, leave tariff power under Congressional control, hatchet the President's power to overrule Tariff Commission recommendations for "escape clause" tariff increases-a power that Ike has used to scotch 14 of the 23 increases the commission has recommended during his five years in office...
...Clad in floppy hospital coat and pants, Airman Donald Gerard Farrell grinned, "Well, here goes," and clambered into a weird contraption at Texas' Randolph A.F.B. It looked like a home furnace -3 ft. wide, 6 ft. long, 5 ft. high-encrusted with tanks, pipes and electric cables. It was firmly anchored to the concrete floor, but it was the Air Force's closest approximation to the type of cabin in which a man might solo into outer space. Airman Farrell, 23, Manhattan-born son of a Wall Street accountant, was to make a seven-day simulated trip...
Unlike his fellow neutralist Nehru, who abominates home-grown Communists, Banda gave the full scope and support of his office to the island's most militant Marxist, shock-haired Agriculture Minister Philip Gunawardena, 58.

But Gunawardena, bent on using the land-reform program to gain for himself the national following he has so far failed to win, openly trumpets to his pajama-clad dockers: "Within 20 years the whole world will come under Communism's banner. As surely as there is a sun and moon, our island will become a Communist country...
...white suit and swinging a cane-aboard the cruiser Mysore, the new flagship of the Indian navy. But it was as a politician of the folksy, Estes Kefauver model that Menon drew the largest crowds. At New Delhi and Madras he packed meeting halls to the rafters, and dhoti-clad crowds filled the streets outside waiting to hear him. To a youth rally of 25,000, Menon cried defiance of Pakistan over the invasion of Kashmir, and drew roars of approval for a slashing attack on Portuguese Dictator Antonio de Oliveira Salazar's determination to keep the colony...
