...Gaza Strip controversy constitutes an example of the problem that is causing many U.S. officials to lose faith in the U.N. I agree with Senator Knowland that a double standard on international policy may make the U.S. and the U.N. look as two-faced as the mythological Janus, but the U.N. should adopt some kind of "speak loudly and carry a big stick" policy with some of these countries which are causing it to lose prestige in the world, and which may eventually cause it to meet the same unfortunate termination which the old League of Nations...

And if that happens, the extra G.O.P. vote would relieve the Democrats of their 49-47 edge, split the parties 48-48, throw the decisive vote to Republican Senate President Richard Nixon-and strip of his title Texas' own Lyndon Baines Johnson, Senate majority leader...
...Time for Optimism. Ben-Gurion is less impassioned about Gaza, although he says he would like to use the Gaza Strip to prove that the Israelis can do right by the Arab refugees driven from their homeland (this Israeli explanation rings hollow in Arab ears).

Ben-Gurion's response was so flatly negative that President Eisenhower cut short a Georgia vacation and took to the air to restate the U.S. proposals and warn of "pressure" if Israel should fail to cooperate...
...carried his political opinions over into his own comic strip field. Capp flatly declared that "Orphan Annie is not a Communist," but was not so favorable to other strips. He revealed that eight weeks from now Daisy Mae's favorite comic strip will appear in "Li'l Abner" entitled "Mary Horm, America's Favorite Busybody." He described "Rex Morgan, M.D." as the comic strip that tells you how to enjoy leprosy, rather than how to cure...
