...Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson moved for adjournment; Vice President Nixon, presiding, brought down his gavel-and the jangling of the Senate call bells noisily marked the end of the 85th Congress. But before the bells clanged, there had been the usual maddening, last-minute fumbling blocks. Nevada's neolithic "Molly" Malone numbed Senate floor and galleries with a wandering diatribe against foreign aid that included lengthy quotations from George Washington, Karl Marx, Andrew Jackson and Molly Malone ("The Nevada air corps can lick any European nation"). While an early-finishing House sang Home on the Range, Wisconsin...
What caused the U.S. about-face? One reason became plain next day, when President Eisenhower suggested a similar plan for the troubled Middle East before the U.N. General Assembly. But more important was Latin America's joint impact on Visitors Richard Nixon, Milton Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles. When Dulles returned from talks with Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek a fortnight ago, he put his department heads to work on the development bank idea...
Hold the Vultures. Dulles flew down to talk with President Juscelino Kubitschek and to repair the damage done to inter-American solidarity by the anti-Nixon riots last May.

Dulles studied Kubitschek's proposals on the long flight south, and also read reports of the reception being planned for him by leftists and nationalists. Flocks of vultures were to be released, roadblocks set up, demonstrations staged...
Milton had hardly returned before Secretary of State John Foster Dulles flew to Rio de Janeiro for a two-day visit in Brazil this week. Topic A with Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek will be the high-level meeting of American nations Kubitschek suggested after U.S. Vice President Nixon was stoned and spat on in Lima and Caracas last May. At first Kubitschek suggested a hemispheric summit conference, but after Dulles rejected the notion of a ''meeting on a get-together basis of heads of government," the Brazilian President agreed that no more time should be wasted in talking...
Communists exercise decisive power in the daily press. Item: when known Communists were caught with a cache of Molotov cocktails near one of the points on Vice President Nixon's canceled tour of Caracas, every paper except the Roman Catholic La Religión kept the story out of print. But when one of the arrested anti-Nixon rioters explained that he had joined in for a frolic and had no Communist ties, the story got headlines...
