...Rabat, Morocco's capital, a day earlier, and at once plunged into the person-to-person, handshake-and-smile campaign with which-on five previous overseas missions-he had won new friends for the U.S. from Manila to Guatemala. And already the trip was showing a policy profit. In private talks with Mohammed V, Sultan of Morocco, during which the two leaders discussed the future of U.S. bases in the country, U.S. economic aid, etc., Nixon got the Sultan's approval for the Eisenhower Doctrine, in turn assured Mohammed that the U.S. would soon help him with...

Asked the probers: Was the recent boost in crude prices made to protect the industry against a falling profit margin? Yes, said Rathbone. noting that Jersey Standard's profit percentage of net worth is slipping, dropped from 19.1% in 1951 to 15.8% in 1955. Though Jersey Standard's profits will rise $100 million in 1957 to $900 million, it must also keep pace with rising world demand. Expansion...
