...poker-faced object of these salutations, China's Premier Chou Enlai, 65, arrived by chartered KLM plane for an eight-day visit to Pakistan, a nation of 100 million people that was once solidly pro-Western and is still a member of both CENTO and SEATO, which were set up for the purpose of containing Communism. Yet since 1962, Pakistan and Red China have 1) settled their border problems, 2) signed a trade agreement, and 3) made an air treaty under which Pakistan International Airlines will begin flights to Canton and Shanghai this summer, with reciprocal rights for Chinese...
...With 17 suitcases, a pair of bright blue skis and a parakeet in a cage, Princess Irene of The Netherlands tripped gaily aboard a chartered KLM airliner last month, unnoticed by the press. Prettiest of four royal sisters and second in line of succession (after Princess Beatrix, 27), blonde, buxom Irene, 24, took off for Spain, whose culture and language she studied at the University of Utrecht.

...blue and white DC-7 skimmed clear of the sand dunes surrounding Somalia's primitive Mogadishu Airport, then wheeled out over the Indian Ocean toward Asia.

Algerian Premier Ahmed Ben Bella usually gives important visitors an affectionate buss on both cheeks. Not this time. All Chou got was a simple handshake and a carefully prepared speech that extolled, of all things, the Russian propaganda line of peaceful coexistence. Just before the motorcade drove into town, a little truck raced madly ahead, pausing momentarily along the route while men frantically plastered posters of Chou on walls and billboards. Adding to the general atmosphere of carelessness were a few streamers covered...
During the flight to Cairo aboard a chartered KLM DC-7, Chou stripped down to long underwear for a seven-hour sleep, wolfed hearty portions of Russian caviar before landing. Though Egyptian authorities provided an enthusiastic crowd to greet the Chinese Premier, the official welcome was somewhat restrained. President Nasser-in Tunisia to attend ceremonies marking France's withdrawal from the Bizerte naval base when Chou arrived-got back to Cairo in time to give a lavish banquet at Abdin Palace. He presented Red China's premier with Egypt's highest decoration-the Collar of the Nile...
