...Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda's fear that any belt-tightening would hurt him politically, Yamagiwa, 60, has shown uncharacteristic indecision. Last week he finally hiked Japan's bank rate from 6.935% to 7.3%, the highest of any industrialized nation. Tighter money, Yamagiwa hopes, will discourage the more feverish expansion plans of Japan's industrialists...
During the feverish, all-night attempt to draft a final communiqué, Indonesia's Sukarno begged the conference to support his demand for West Irian; Morocco's King Hassan II urged his claim against Mauritania. Nehru's coalition vetoed mention of either. An Arab resolution condemning Israel was knocked out by Burma's U Nu, a good friend of Ben-Gurion...
...nurse in the third."

The spring planting lagged 2,000,000 acres behind last year, and meat production was down 13% in spite of Khrushchev's feverish speeches and Draconic firings early in the spring. In fact, the U.S.'s 21 million farm population in 1960 grows as much food as some 500 million Chinese, and 60% more than no million Russians...
