...sent a message to West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt: "I, as well as the other members of the American Government, wish to assure you in these difficult times of undiminished American support." As if to underscore U.S. bipartisanship in Berlin, a U.S. congressional delegation of one Republican, three Democrats, toured both halves of Berlin, after which Ohio's Democratic Congressman Wayne Hays summed up: "The one thing the Communists respect is force. We must take a strong position and not retreat...
...American student asked how Rockefeller affected "the problem of Republican leadership in 1960," and Nixon deftly noted how quickly Americans at Oxford picked up British understatement. Said Nixon: "If Rockefeller should get the nomination for the presidency in 1960, he will make an excellent campaigner and a fine candidate...
Ruled unconstitutional last week: a 1956 Louisiana law prohibiting Negroes from participating in sports events with whites. A three-judge federal court (including Judge John Minor Wisdom, head of the contested Eisenhower delegation to the Republican National Convention in 1952) ruled that the Louisiana statute violates the equal-protection clause of the 14th Amendment, issued a temporary injunction to prevent the state from enforcing the law.

Biggest probable beneficiary: the Sugar Bowl, which for two years has had trouble getting top Northern football teams, most of which have...

Last week he worked around to the other half of the Morseberger senatorial team, Morse's onetime prot...
...Bulletin: "Neuberger has become a good U.S. Senator from Oregon . . . Morse, on the other hand, has shown he still prefers to go the same old way, changing sides, grabbing headlines, but doing darned little effective work on major problems of Oregon." Possible long-range effect: as the hottest young Republican in the West, Governor Hatfield is almost certain to try eventually for a U.S. Senate seat. He might well decide to serve out his four-year term in the Statehouse, try for the Senate in 1962 against Morse, rather than in 1960 against Friend Neuberger...
