...Neither the U.S. nor the U.N. had any right whatsoever-legal, moral or logical-to subjugate one faction in favor of another in a purely internal struggle. Tshombe may be no prize package, but he has been the one African leader on whose dedicated anti-Communism we might have been able to rely...

A compromise resolution, beginning with seven "Whereases," paid lip service to the A.M.A. doctrine that the individual should provide for his own health care in old age. But it proposed that states stop dragging their feet on legislation to provide medical care for the aged (Kerr-Mills benefits are now effective in only 20 states), and demanded "fair and equal distribution of this aid, and its benefits to the Negro aged, in those states which historically discriminate undemocratically...
