Republican Joel Broyhill won then by 322 votes in his Washington suburban district; this time he won by 4,500. Republican Richard Poff won his Lynchburg-Roanoke district by 2,000 in 1952; this year his margin was 13,000.

For several weeks he had suffered acute insomnia; he had flown to Red China, against doctor's orders, with laryngitis and a fever. Along the way, Nehru had acted in high-strung fashion: at Calcutta he kicked aside a jobless young refugee who prostrated himself before Nehru ("He is holding my foot"); at Rangoon he wielded his wooden cane at a welcoming crowd which he thought was drawing too near. When the Nehru party finally got to Peking...
