...Washington freed $26 million in frozen Egyptian assets, and U.S. Ambassador Raymond Hare told Nasser that the U.S. was preparing generally for a return to "normal'' relations with Cairo, was ready to resume CARE surplus food shipments, student exchanges and rural improvement aid, and to end restrictions on delivering such industrial items as ball bearings, lubricating oils and spare parts...
Change of Heart. But at week's end, Nehru did another of his sudden turnabouts, and decided he would heed the pleas of his followers and, with no feeling of pleasure, remain at the unsteady helm of state.

He promised administrative austerity, but said the broader solution for the nation was "encouraging productive private enterprise."

He announced that he was taking over as president of the floundering state oil monopoly and would accept aid from private capital, "without abolishing state control...
