Shrewdly, the Afro-Asian bloc last fortnight submitted a bland resolution that did not mention independence or describe the rebel F.L.N. as a legitimate government. The French delegation, clinging steadily to its insistence that Algeria is part of France and hence none of the General Assembly's business, once again boycotted the debate.

Frank Stanton explicitly forbade his flock to accept payola.* CBS top brass also issued a decree to its staff that seemed to guillotine giveaway shows. The ruling forbids mention of brand names of products other than the sponsor's, also prohibits any other form of plug.
