What brought on Congress' mood? Partly it was the good sense of Congress. Partly it was the firmed-up leadership lately shown by President Eisenhower. Partly it was the voice of the people: during their Easter recess (TIME, April 21) members of Congress heard unexpected grass-roots sentiments that many a Democratic state Governor had already detected, e.g., wariness toward tax cuts, disgust at the mud dredged up by the McClellan committee's labor investigation, widespread if reluctant acceptance of foreign aid as a cold-war necessity...
...minutes later, halfway through his 90-minute speech. Aleksander Rankovic called for a recess. Dourly, the Soviet-bloc observers at the congress strode out of the pavilion in order of rank-first the Russians, then the Chinese Reds, then the Eastern Europeans, with Rumania bringing up the rear (they always leave or arrive in that order).

When a French Premier wants to take a necessary but unpopular step, he usually waits until the French Assembly is in recess so that he cannot be thrown out of office immediately. But the right-wingers in his Cabinet, who oppose any concessions in Algeria, were committed to quit in a body if Gaillard misstepped, and thus even in parliamentary recess his hands were tied...
