...Judge for Yourselves." Back in India once again, the busy travelers found unexpected help in winning over the man whom Pravda has called "our unconscious ally." Jawaharlal Nehru may have had misgivings over some of the rambunctious remarks his guests had made, but that was not why Nehru was mad last week. He was miffed at John Foster Dulles, who, in receiving the Portuguese Foreign Minister, had joined in a communique which referred to disputed Goa in the phrase the Portuguese use for it, as a "province" of Portugal...
Konrad Adenauer angrily brushed off any suggestion of discussions at a ministerial level, as implying recognition of East Germany. West Germans were willing to make lesser arrangements, a process that has been going on for some time. All barge permits, said Neues Deutschland, East Germany's Pravda, would be terminated Dec. 31, and "Bonn authorities will have to file applications for renewal." Was this the beginning of another Berlin blockade? Many West Berliners feared so; and their concern over the barge traffic was increased by the fact that the British too, like the Russians, had quietly withdrawn their supervision...
Unlike the audience. Pravda's Critic Boris Zakhava did not allow himself to be swept away. But he did call the direction "bold and bright,'' and Scofield's Hamlet "clean and honest."

...better weather." He did not explain that the Communists have no intention of waiting supinely while nature makes the weather. They had come to India not only as traveling salesmen, but also as rainmakers. One member of the Bulganin-Khrushchev party brought with him a letter of instructions (from Pravda Editor Dmitri Shepilov) now being secretly circulated among the leaders of India's estimated 60,000 Communist Party members. It refers to Jawaharlal Nehru as "our unconscious ally," outlines Communist strategy for swaying Nehru close to Soviet economic and political methods, recommends that Nehru personally be praised instead...
...reunify Germany. Equally significant, though less dramatic, was the failure to agree on disarmament. Secretary of State Dulles came away condemning the Russian proposals of a nuclear arms ban and troop withdrawal from Europe as "paper pledges." Moscow, in turn, blamed the United States. Referring to the Geneva debates, Pravda, the official Communist party newspaper, charged American diplomats with confining their discussion to President Eisenhower's proposal "for the exchange of military information and aerial photography of [each other's territory], divorcing this issue from the pressing task of ending the arms race." Actually, both accusations were right. Neither side...
