Libyans also resent supervision of aid projects by U.S. teams, as the daily Fezzan grumbled: "We receive from America a sum of money that we are not allowed to spend as we see fit.

...have the votes to put Lübke in, but he faces a genuine threat in the brilliant and scholarly presidential candidate of the Social Democrats, Carlo Schmid. Adenauer's party whips were hard at work rounding up pledges for Lübke, fearing that Christian Democrats who resent Adenauer's recent moves, but have not dared oppose him openly, might take advantage of a secret ballot to vote for Socialist Schmid...
