...instinctively trust and admire Knowland and have mistrusted the U.N. from the start, and 2) the once-trusting U.N. partisans who have lost faith in the U.N. since its vote against Britain, France and Israel during the invasion of Egypt, and are now as distressed about the "double standard" as Bill Knowland...
Despite the worldwide speculation about the future of Gaza, the Israelis seemed to have no doubt at all. Eighteen Israeli government agencies have just started work on an ambitious program to raise the standard of living to that of surrounding Israeli farm settlements. Israeli engineers are busy paving dusty streets, repairing broken-down harbor jetties, and surveying the ancient towns of Khan Yunis, Rafa and Deir el Balah for their first municipal water, electricity and drainage systems. Trains are hauling in supplies from Tel Aviv 40 miles away; mail is arriving marked "Gaza via Israel." Work is expected to start...

In Houston last week, six oil companies (Continental, Standard of California, Gulf, Richfield, Shell and Superior) prepared to fill another gap in the system, jointly formed the Four Corners Pipe Line Co. to supply California with its first piped crude oil. Houstonian R. G. McIntyre, recently retired chairman of the board of Standard Oil of Texas, was elected president of Four Corners, named for the oil-rich area where the borders of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado meet.
