...Nkrumah's opponents are subjected to courtroom complexities. The regime announced that Dr. Joseph Danquah, 69, the distinguished scholar and early nationalist leader who ran against Nkrumah in the 1960 presidential election, had died in a detention camp.

For the present, not a single U.N. member, Afro-Asian or other, paid any attention to Peking's challenge, and even such "neutralists" as Tito and Nasser were opposed to the Chinese-Indonesian game. The General Assembly was more interested in achieving some resolution of the U.N.'s continuing financial crisis. At week's end, Subandrio agreed to accept $100 million in aid from Peking plus "military experience...
