...prospects for peace inside and outside Israel falter, rumors fly in Christian neighborhoods about people seeking visas to move to North and South America. Since Christians are a minority, says the Greek Catholic patriarchal vicar in Jerusalem, Archbishop Loutfi Laham, they "need stabilization and peace in order to stay here." For the moment, at least, the fears of a disappearing flock appear exaggerated, judging by estimates from Israeli sources. They show that there are 103,000 Christians in Israel, including the Jerusalem area, compared with only 67,000 in 1967. During the same period, the total number of believers...
Died. Omar Loutfi, 55, United Nations Under Secretary for Special Political Affairs since last year, a highly respected Egyptian diplomat who persuasively represented his country at the U.N. during the 1956 Suez Crisis and as Under Secretary had been especially concerned with disarmament; of a heart attack; at the U.N.

From Baghdad each day, the nation is treated by television to a noisy assizes when a fanatic army colonel, Fadhil Mahdawi, rants against the "traitors" in the dock.

Iraq's new Premier, Brigadier General Abdul Karim Kassem, had not talked that way to President Eisenhower's special envoy Robert Murphy the week before...
...adversaries. But now, meticulous, bespectacled Koto Matsudaira of Japan spoke up for the first time to express his government's "misgivings" over the U.S. intervention, and said that he would try to seek some sort of compromise. To add to the U.S.'s discomfiture, bald Omar Loutfi of the United Arab Republic produced a letter from the president of the Lebanese Parliament denouncing U.S. intervention as an infringement of Lebanese sovereignty. Finally, as the second day ended, still another sour note was sounded. Gunnar Jarring of Sweden, echoing the irritation of his countryman Hammarskjold, declared that in view...
