...memo to Chairman Lilienthal recommending all-out effort on the superbomb. The Atomic Energy Act had set up a General Advisory Committee of scientists to advise the President and AEC on scientific matters. Strauss urged that the GAC be called into special session to advise the commission how to proceed. On Oct. 29, the GAC met in a regularly scheduled session. After one day's deliberation, it reported its recommendation: the U.S. should not try to build a thermonuclear bomb...

In a speech at Peking last week, Vice Chairman Chia Tofu of the government's Economic and Financial Committee confessed: "On the whole, our industrial foundations are very weak and our industrial technique backward." Sixty per cent of all Chinese industry is now state-owned, Chia boasted, but obviously the state is having a hard time finding managers who know their jobs.
