Even for John Kennedy, it was an arduous week of activity. It began with word of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's setback in West Germany. Then came the news of Dag Hammarskjold's death. The next day, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko began their cautious, first-round sparring about Berlin.

U.S. Delegate Averell Harriman charged that two companies of Viet Minh troops had participated in the earlier attack on Padong, and again asked Russia's Andrei Gromyko to approve a Canadian plan to dispatch helicopters and light planes to the International Control Commission so that it could carry out its assignment of policing the ceasefire. In the absence of instruction and equipment, the I.C.C. had not budged from its headquarters in Vientiane. In reply, Gromyko was almost insolent...
