Nixon, speaking Saturday in Baltimore, "categorically" rejected the Commission's findings as being "morally bankrupt."

...Poison Gas. Other Japanese began to analyze the indirect costs of becoming the most productive nation in the world after the U.S. and U.S.S.R. One newspaper editorialized that G.N.P.

The maximum allowed by the U.S. Food...
...Poisoned Relations. Bitterness, if not unalloyed hatred, is likely to poison relations between the two sides for years. Hussein last week angrily complained that his government was infiltrated by guerrillas, and that even his cook and chauffeur turned out to be terrorists. Newsmen who had been trapped in the Jordan Intercontinental Hotel (see THE PRESS) told of seeing Bedouins shooting a wounded fedai to death. Both army riflemen and fedayeen snipers fired on ambulances, and on one occasion guerrillas stole two Red Cross vehicles and converted them into ammunition carriers. The fedayeen lobbed mortars at Amman airport as planes landed...
