...right out of the House, so Mills has had to avoid offending Faubus. Bowing to Faubus, Mills has been conspicuously protective toward Arkansas Congressman Dale Alford, outspoken segregationist, who was narrowly elected last November as a Faubus-backed write-in candidate.* Mills's friends sadly point out that Northern Democrats would never choose as Speaker a man regarded as being under even the remote control of Orval Faubus...
Rising in India's lower house of Parliament, Jawaharlal Nehru, 69, gripped the teakwood Prime Minister's bench and described, in blunt language he had never used before, the "continuing aggression" of Red China's troops against India's northern borders.

Born to affluence in St. Louis, he had become a Navy medic, been caught up in the soul-searing 1954 evacuation of anti-Communist refugees from North Viet Nam, returned to Asia to set up hospitals in the remotest parts of Red-threatened northern Laos. There, three months ago, "Dr. Tom" was trudging along a snag-strewn jungle trail from his hospital at Muong Sing, only five miles from the Chinese border, to make a "house call" when he fell and bumped his right chest. It felt like nothing worse than a bruise...
