Last week, in the wake of President Eisenhower's trip to Western Europe and on the eve of Nikita Khrushchev's visit to the U.S., historic events were in full flood, political leaders and diplomats rode a crest of world interest and hope.

But in Washington representatives of the SEATO powers were gravely considering the most serious military threat their alliance had ever faced, and in Rio de Janeiro U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold cut short a Latin American tour to fly back to New York for an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council...
