...week's end a cheerful Foster Dulles reported that the talks were going "extremely well." He was elated to learn that Saud had come to the U.S. to speak not merely for himself but as a representative of Egypt, Syria and Jordan as well. And since, as Secretary Dulles assured newsmen, the King "very definitely" had got a much clearer understanding of the Eisenhower doctrine and the new role that the U.S. aims to play in the Middle East, Saud's trip may well foretell a more stable climate in that area...
...quick little public duster that whirled around King Saud's visit built up while he was at sea and blew out shortly after he stepped ashore. It was nothing compared with the storm blowing up from pulpit, editorial page, civic organizations and even state legislatures over a visit tentatively scheduled for April by Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito. By last week it was plain that, foreign policy or no, Tito was persona non grata to a vociferous segment of the American public...
Nobody had good words for Tito, but the visit did have its defenders. In Mayfield, Ky., the Rev. Frank Cayce asked his Episcopal congregation: "Why shouldn't Eisenhower have Saud and Tito as guests?

The boy had captivated welcoming crowds with his grave salutes-but they were given with his left hand. The little prince's right side is partly paralyzed, allowing him only limited use of the arm, and he limps on a right leg that is drawn...
...downtown Washington shoe store, doctors supervised the fitting of four pairs of special shoes (children's size 9E), expected to last the growing boy four months. Four more pairs, size 9½, were supplied for the next four months. As the boy's feet grow, Saud's palace physician can order bigger sizes by mail. Doctors hope that braces and shoes, with massage and exercises, will eventually make the prince's leg close to normal...
