If his 45-man majority stands firm and Prime Minister Noon brings about elections next year with a common ballot, Pakistan will have taken a long step along the road to political stability...
Friendly Nasser. In Cairo the inventor of "positive neutrality" was going through an odd phase. The controlled Cairo press of President Nasser accused the U.S. of plotting with Lebanon's Charles Malik and Israel's David Ben-Gurion to sell out Palestine's refugees to Israel. It accused the U.S. of massing troops behind Turkey's southeastern border to invade Syria. It said that the U.S. has loosed 4,000 agents in the Middle East to destroy Arab nationalism.

...fact, Charles Malik, flying to the U.S., announced that he had been charged by his Chief of State, "in agreement with King Saud, to intervene during my visit to Washington with President Eisenhower and Mr. Dulles to obtain assurances that the U.S. will not use force in Syria." In Iraq, the only Arab nation formally connected by pact to the West, the controlled press took up the cry, as Baghdad's Al Akhbar warned that the U.S. would commit "the most serious blunder" if it treated Syria as hostile to its neighbors...
