Specifically, De Gaulle fears that an early summit would be largely concerned with Berlin and the German problem, and that on these issues it would be Britain and the U.S. that would feel the public pressure to make concessions, not Russia. He does not believe Russia has paid the price of admission yet: "Favorable signs should develop in the course of the coming months which the debate in the U.N. and the combination of circumstances in Southeast Asia, the Far East and Africa will provide the opportunity to confirm...
Abroad, Ayub has remained firmly pro-Western and a member of CENTO. He is the first leader of Pakistan to make a determined effort to improve relations with India. The problem of the canal waters of the Indus basin is nearing settlement (TIME, June 1). After twelve years of border conflict in Kashmir, an Indian and a Pakistani commission last week concluded talks that may put this problem to rest.

Moravia was moved to wrath by municipal Rome's newest effort to cope with traffic jams that make an eternity of crossing the Eternal City. Plagued by an ever-growing (up 400,000 since World War II), ever-moving population, Rome's traffic planners route fleets of Fiats and thundering herds of motor scooters through narrow alleys designed for carriages and litters. Whole areas of Rome have become all but impossible to reach by car; so congested is the area around the Pantheon that many cab drivers flatly refuse to take passengers there...
