...Kashmiri government offered a princely reward-$21,000 outright plus a $105 lifetime annual pension-to anyone who "traces or helps in tracing" the relic. From New Delhi came two senior Indian police officials to help authorities in Srinagar, which is in the Indian-held half of disputed Kashmir. In Pakistan, India's Prime Minister Nehru was blamed as "the real thief," though the press also hinted that the "satanic" plot might have been "conceived in the so-called intellectual cells in a faraway Western capital," meaning Washington.

Back in as president went Kirby's longtime ally, Charles T. Ireland Jr., 42. "I suppose all of them believed they could just sit down and get me to back down," says Kirby of his opponents. His only regret is that the victory took so long: "I wouldn't have minded the time so much...
Added the report: Negroes able to afford better homes are prevented form buying them by dealers' methods ranging from outright refusal to deal with Negroes to endless delays of a Negro's housing request.
