Washington does not deny that it likes to sell as much as it can to NATO, partly to stem the gold drain. And while British charges of undue U.S. pressure may be exaggerated, the U.S., as NATO's leading member, is certainly in an excellent position to influence prospective customers. As the star salesman of the campaign, Deputy Defense Secretary Roswell Gilpatric is just back from Western Europe. He brought home a West German agreement to buy $1.2 billion in U.S. hardware over the next two years. Almost simultaneously, the British announced that they too had closed a deal...
Progressive Songs. Sagging earth above the tunnel caused a break in a water line, but West Berlin firemen came to the rescue with a pump to drain the tunnel. A second flooding occurred at the 300-ft. mark, well inside East Berlin, when a water pipe burst near the tunnel. Fortunately, the East German repairmen who fixed the pipe did not notice the excavation below. As digging was resumed, the molelike students could hear the Communist loudspeakers on the Wall above them blaring out "progressive workers' " songs...

Chronic Affliction. How long will Kennedy's Telstar warning continue to discourage the speculators? London dealers expect them to come back into the market any time. The continuing drain on U.S. gold reserves (which last week dropped $90 million to a 23-year low of $16.2 billion) is sure to revive the argument-much favored by the British press-that eventually the U.S. will have no choice but to raise its gold price. The worldwide market crash has made securities less attractive and gold more so as a repository for spare capital. And not least important, once...
