...Moscow. The request: some $200 million worth of surplus U.S. farm products, to be sold for Polish zlotys, and a $100 million Export-Import Bank loan for the purchase of U.S. machinery. Even though the State Department is thinking in terms of some $30 million, California's William Fife Knowland, Senate minority leader, declared he would continue to oppose any sum until Soviet troops are withdrawn from Poland and free elections are held. From the other side of the aisle, Massachusetts' Democrat John F. Kennedy proclaimed that it would be a brutal and dangerous policy...

...Gilkyson's "Marianne" and the Tarrier's and Belafonte's "Banaha Boat Song" from the top rungs. The "respectable" disk jockies hope that calypso will end the rock and roll craze. Since calypso includes the "Big Beat," it will certainly be much more successful than the previous white hope--fife and drum music as exemplified by the "Yellow Rose of Texas." Rock and roll, however, is here to stay...
