...Support. The high-flying trip was no flight of pilot's fancy. Last month Air Force headquarters in Europe proposed to the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the U.S. challenge Soviet claims to the right to limit flight altitudes in the corridors. The Chiefs weighed the idea, agreed that the U.S. ought to establish its right to fly the corridors at any altitude it deems necessary; in the event of another Berlin blockade, the Air Force will certainly use the huge C-130s for long-distance hauls, which would require higher altitudes than the short prop hauls made...
...influence of Communist China because I believe to do otherwise is to build up the enemy," Walter Spencer Robertson, Virginia investment banker and China economic expert, built up unusual influence in six years (1953-59) as Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs. He advocated strong U.S. support for Nationalist China's Chiang Kai-shek and South Korea's Syngman Rhee while restraining them (in personal missions) from impulsive counterattacks, helped build the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, recommended U.S. support for Nationalist China's defense of the offshore Quemoy and Matsu islands. He outargued liberal critics...
Like his father before him, U.S. Senator Herman Talmadge has ruled Georgia by Negro-baiting campaigns and the one-party "county unit" primary. The two sources of power support each other, for the county unit system can let one Negro-hating woolhat in a rural county outvote 154 Atlanta moderates.

He has toned down his racism, noted carefully that the unfair unit system has come perilously close to defeat in four test cases that went to the Supreme Court. Last week Talmadge hinted to Atlanta...
...looming diplomatic and strategic disaster, the U.S. and British policy of hands off in Iraq seems at first glance negligent. In fact, it is the only policy open to the West. For even if Washington and London trusted Nasser enough to back him in his fight against Kassem, Western support would only further discredit Nasser in Iraqi eyes-and in the eyes of the whole Arab world. And any attempt that the West might make to bring direct pressure to bear on Kassem could only serve to drive him finally and utterly into the arms of the Communists...
...Straus report is bound to run into considerable opposition from the U.S. Treasury, which announced that it will fight any tax-easing rules that might further unbalance the budget. Yet Straus has strong support for his proposals both on Capitol Hill and at the White House. Louisiana Democrat Hale Boggs, author of a House bill to cut corporate taxes on foreign earnings from 52% to 38%, promised a "warm welcome" from Congress for the report. And from Administration officials came word that the White House will endorse much...
