...cold hostility in British officialdom. From the start, Britain had jibbed at Mintoff's costly economic conditions for integration. In a 1,000-word cable Lennox-Boyd bluntly warned the Maltese leader that he had "recklessly hazarded" the whole integration plan. Snapped the London Economist, hitherto a cautious partisan of integration: "Let Mr. Mintoff be left in no doubt that he is demanding from Britain too high a price for something that Britain does not much want...
Reward from Moscow. Last week Dolci won another kind of victory. Praising the "incisive vigor" with which Dolci had depicted the "inhuman conditions" in Sicily, Radio Moscow gratuitously announced that "Peace Partisan" Dolci had won the Lenin (formerly Stalin) Peace Prize. Rome's La Giustizia, organ of the Social Democrats, promptly appealed to non-Communist Dolci to reject an award which "comes from the executioners of the workers in Hungary." Dolci did not even hesitate. "I shall always accept, from anywhere, gifts that help my mission of good works," he said. He announced that the $25,000 prize money...

The President seemed unaware of any partisan pressure on Stevenson, or, for that matter, any real necessity for decision...
...fabulously complex growth of the U.S. economy, no major study of the country's monetary system has been undertaken for nearly 50 years. Early this year Congress turned down President Eisenhower's appeal for such a study, and almost every previous Congressional investigation has turned into a partisan political probe. Last week the Committee for Economic Development announced receipt of a $500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation for the first full-scale inquiry into U.S. monetary policies since the Aldrich Commission of 1908, which laid the foundation of the Federal Reserve System...
