...Very Sorry." Next day the delegates fanned out across Capitol Hill to pin down their Congressmen on civil rights. Ohio's Republican Senator George Bender was ready to agree to everything, even the dispatch of U.S. troops to keep order in Mississippi. Virginia's segregationist Democratic Representative Howard W. Smith declined to see the delegates: "A waste of your time and mine." Most dramatic confrontation came when Mississippi's Gus Courts walked into the office of Missis sippi's James O. Eastland. Courts told the Senator how he had been shot, whereupon Eastland shook his head...
After developing his case on the mishandling of the Baghdad Pact and the attempt to rush Jordan into signing it, Gaitskell gripped the dispatch box before him and roared out his indictment of "this ill-judged, ill-informed and badly carried-out attempt to continue what is in essence a paternalistic policy."

Their argument was a strong one: 1) the dispatch of tanks to Arab nations violates the declared U.S. policy of discouraging an arms race in the Middle East; 2) tanks for the Saudis put a strange light on U.S. delay in fulfilling Israel's four-month-old request to buy U.S. arms...
Such papers as Sullens' Daily News now run more Negro crime news under bigger headlines than ever before-even when it means going as far afield as Chicago. They spike occasional wire stories that show integration working, e.g., a recent A.P. dispatch about the acceptance of three Negroes at the University of North Carolina. They print and reprint testimonials by Negroes who say that they prefer segregation and ignore Negro leaders on the other side, except to quote them out of context to make them sound like wild radicals...
