...resolution for repeal, sponsored by Minnesota's Senator Hubert Humphrey, is before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. President Eisenhower, Secretary of State Christian Herter, Attorney General William Rogers and Vice President Nixon, all have gone on record favoring the repeal of the Connally Reservation. Arkansas' William Fulbright, committee chairman, is in favor too. But Democrat Fulbright hesitates to send the repealer to the Senate until he sees signs that he can muster the two-thirds vote necessary for repeal. His biggest problem, says he, is Republicans, and he has quietly passed the word to the Administration that...
Outrage. As the news of Chessman's reprieve clattered around the world, a new burst of outrage thundered out, much of it centered on State Department "interference" in California's internal affairs and Brown's complaisant response. It is "very disturbing," declared Arkansas' J.

Fulbright agreed to give the idea full consideration...
...political context, Scotty Reston is not so easily classified as such doctrinaire liberals as Columnist Marquis Childs or radio-TV's Eric Sevareid. He is a liberal, and his key sources are weighted on the liberal side, including, in addition to Stevenson and Fulbright, Presidential Aspirant Hubert Humphrey and Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield. But he tries earnestly, both in his thinking and his reporting, to avoid classification either by ideology or party. He was for Eisenhower in 1952 and for Stevenson in 1956, and his stories showed it. He has been on the cold side of cool toward...
