...Democrats still owe $467,000 in 1956 campaign obligations. The national committee is living beyond its means at the rate of more than $86,000 so far this year, and Paul Butler has made no major move to reduce expenses. Neither has Philadelphia Multimillionaire (construction) Matt McCloskey, the party treasurer, who shares with Butler the responsibility and the blame for fund-raising and budgeting. The two men are no longer on speaking terms-and the party's indebtedness continues to spiral upward. The sleek party house organ, Democratic Digest, continues to pile up a $70,000-$80,000 annual...
...permitted to bring all his instruments along, the U.N. observer team sent in September to Laos to investigate charges of Communist Viet Nam aggression was hamstrung by explicit instructions to simply look and listen. Otherwise, U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge might never have succeeded in his adroit procedural move to create the Laos subcommittee over Russia's negative vote.

...Prime Minister's first bold move was a 16-day amnesty offer to Triad hoodlums who wanted to go straight. If they would confess past misdeeds, their testimony would not be used against them as evidence; the police would make every effort to protect them from predictable Triad reprisals; most important of all, they would not be subject to the sweeping new powers that Lee's government was giving the police, which in effect deprive all known criminals of habeas corpus. Confessions from suspicious crooks were few at first, but under constant radio and press warnings to "give...
Said Reform Rabbi Ephraim Einhorn of Temple City, Calif., who began the move for Howard's expulsion: "Even though Harry Howard may personally believe that he can be a Jew and a Mormon at the same time, the fact remains that the Mormons give Jesus Christ divine status, and this destroys the indivisible status of God in which we Jews believe...
