...board chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, and Lovett refused the lure, Kennedy decided that Republican Dillon was his man, and went after him personally. Once last week the President-elect went to the length of going secretly to Dillon's Washington home.

In the last elections in 1958, Red-lining anti-American candidates had shown alarming strength; five months ago when Dwight Eisenhower flew into Okinawa during his Asian tour, jeering agitators greeted him with placards reading I HATE IKE. Last week, when the ballots of 374,000 Ryukyu voters were finally tallied, Washington began rubbing its eyes in stunned but joyous surprise...
