...East-West grain trade. Its Canadian subsidiary has signed up for 20% of Canada's $500 million wheat sale to Russia, and the U.S. parent is awaiting an export license to send $6,500,000 worth to Hungary.

Disgusted by the lack of progress. President Eisenhower said in December of 1959 that the U.S. felt free to resume testing -but would publicly announce any blasts before actually triggering them...
