...have been already delivered to Peking. It was all sort of odd, for, while the U.S. was a staunch friend of India, it also hoped to keep some kind of contact with Pakistan, whose President last week was urging the U.S. to use its "considerable influence" to seek a settlement. The U.S. could only repeat its intention of continuing to work through the United Nations. But Secretary-General U Thant had little progress to report...
...policy may well have suffered from some mistakes and misinformation. But the fact remains that the country was on the verge of a bloodbath, and that the Communists were swiftly profiting from the chaos. U.S. troops, whether 5,000 or 20,000, enforced a more or less peaceful settlement-and the U.S., in the end, was far tougher with the loyalist "reactionaries" than with the Communist-infiltrated rebels...

"This is bargaining with a piece...

After inventories return to normal, it will probably tiptoe toward price boosts on such defense items as carbon sheet, bars, plates and tubes. Despite grumblings that the wage settlement with the union will cause a cost-price squeeze, steelmen know only too well that any dramatic increase in prices (such as $6 a ton) would run smack into Lyndon Johnson's determination to hold prices steady...
