Support for the Secretary. But for all that, Democrats still contended that Wilson's testimony was in conflict with that of some of the other witnesses. The committee would recall several, said Chairman Stuart Symington, to see if the contradictions could be explained. That suited Engine Charlie fine. Given time to study the matter, he said, he would be glad to return before the committee and clear up whatever was puzzling the Senators...
Greece, whose ties with its NATO allies have been badly strained by the conflict over Cyprus, should have offered Shepilov ideally troubled waters in which to fish.

Khrushchev's speech, underlining hostility to the West and stressing the unity of the "Socialist" camp, gave a sharper edge to Tito's prepared address. What Tito had to say, read in faltering Russian, tamely supported Soviet policy on the two Germanys (though Belgrade...
