...even before the election, when the future President implied that Quemoy and Matsu were not worth defending. Doubts rose higher after the inauguration, when the State Department leaked out hints of such possible diplomatic moves as a new "two China" policy and recognition of Outer Mongolia; U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson seemed to surrender be fore the battle when months ago he spoke of Red China's admission to the U.N. as being inevitable. Recently, Formosa's dismay over U.S. diplomacy rose to such a degree that Ambassador Everett Drumright was summoned home for consultation. At his advice...
...Assembly this fall.

At Little Rock in 1957, he won the-further respect of writing reporters-who deplore most TV newsmen-with his candid and unmincing coverage, his use of the TV camera to help find sense rather than sensationalism. Called home to help on election night last November, Chancellor was given the Midwest desk, outdid Huntley and Brinkley in sagacity, and was one of the few commentators who kept saying all night long that the result would...
