PROPAGANDA BATTLE: The Communists keyed their bombardment to a ceaseless propaganda attack, listed 40 specific charges of U.S. aggression in the Formosa Strait, whipped up a homeside hate campaign by accusing Chinese Nationalists of using poison-gas shells. By loudspeakers and leaflet shells the Communists offered the Quemoy garrison attractive surrender terms; by letters routed through Hong Kong, they offered top Nationalists big bribes if they would desert. At the same time they beat on the theme that with the U.S. elections due on Nov. 4, there could be no support in the U.S. for helping Nationalist President Chiang Kaishek...
...pamphlets for the Development Fund will describe the projects for which most of the money is slated. One leaflet will cover endowments; another, the scholarship and student aid programs. Others will discuss Radcliffe's part in the new theatre, to which the Annex will contribute $250,000; the proposed tenth dormitory; and the Women's Archives and scholarly publications issued by the college...
...freeze differences into a permanent mold, rather than to let them work themselves out. Perhaps for this reason, the Turks, though rejecting the plan, found it reconcilable with their cries of partition. The Greeks for the same reason were considerably upset.

...violence and discourtesy, Nixon's reception at San Marcos set melancholy records. But it differed only in degree and cynically competent organization from student reaction in Uruguay, Argentina and Bolivia, and the international Communist pattern was plain to see. The leaflet-spread slurs at the Vice President, e.g., "Nixon Dog!", the party-line taunts, e.g., "Insolent representative of monopolistic trusts," "What about the Negroes in the South?", and the phony causes, e.g., "Free Puerto Rico," *were everywhere the same. The aim: implanting throughout the world the propaganda theme of hatred for the U.S. in its own backyard...
...raid on the Vassa coffee shop was the start of a new and radically different EOKA attack on British rule in Cyprus. Colonel George Grivas. who heads EOKA, issued a leaflet announcing that he was "raising the banner of passive resistance," peremptorily ordered a boycott of British football pools and such imported British goods as cigarettes, shoes, whisky, soft drinks and sweets. Proclaimed Grivas: "Britain is sucking away the sweat of the Cypriot people. She digs her hands into their pockets and takes their money in the form of import duties, taxes, and fines...
