...wife refused for months to speak to the wife of U Kyaw Nyein, Minister for National Economy. Kyaw Nyein's wife would have nothing to do with the wife of Thakin Kyaw Dun, Minister for Agriculture. Premier U Nu tried hard to take a Nehrunian position above the fray but was inevitably drawn into what he himself describes as the party's "family quarrels." He was also angry about the '"outrageous" lawlessness in the countryside, and last month called in the Army-not the police, which he said was too much under the politicians-to crack down...

British opinion began to change when Nehru's U.N. delegates regarded a discussion of Hungary as an unworthy diversion from the serious business of condemning the Suez invasion...
...China's admission to the U.N., a cautiously worded expression of sympathy for "the desire of the people of Algeria for freedom," and a kind word for "safeguarding legitimate economic interests" in the Middle East, the communiqué carried little but vague platitudes of a pronounced Nehrunian cast. "Points on which there could be no agreement were just left out," explained one Indian diplomat. Tito, in halting English, bade his guests goodbye. "Come soon back," he said...
