...week Ike's friends-and enemies-watched for that big, liberating moment of battle, the breakout. The moment did not come. General Eisenhower won no famous victories last week. It was probably unrealistic of Ike's supporters to expect any sensational developments, but they were nevertheless disappointed as they saw their hero fighting uphill in the face of strong Taft resistance...
...Shyster" & "Spoiled Child." The delegate-hungry Taftmen, obeying the Biblical injunction to forgive their enemies seventy times seven times, have clasped Hallanan to their bosoms once more, and this time they expect him to stay clasped. As temporary chairman, Hallanan will take the gavel a few moments after National Chairman Guy Gabrielson raps the convention to order on July 7, and will preside until after the keynote.

Andrei Gromyko presumably goes to London to hold the wedge...

In Beirut, Talal's younger brother Naif received three telegrams. The first read: "Expect you in our legation in Rome as soon as possible. Talal." The second read: "Meet at once at the Beau-Rivage Hotel, Lausanne. Talal." The third read: "Forget my telegrams, no need to come." They all added up to the fact that poor, schizoid King Talal was not much better...
