Field Enterprises' Sunday supplement, to John Hay Whitney, U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's and controlling owner of the New York Herald Tribune, for $12 million, and by disposing of several other properties, Field raised the $18 million cash that Jack Knight asked for his 75% controlling interest in the News.

The Chinese pastors of 57 Protestant churches and organizations on Formosa denounced the resolution's "terribly misguided judgment." In a radio broadcast this week, the Rev. Daniel A.
