Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was getting just about the worst press he had ever received in India. What made everyone mad last week was his threat to resign his office, and then his tame turnabout when Congress Party politicians begged him to stay on (TIME, May 12). New Delhi columnist B. G.

Last week, as a result of the fight, Western Air Lines was in its ninth week of strike, with all 83 flights grounded and corporate losses running to $35,000 daily. The threat of similar "third-man" strikes hangs ominously over Eastern, Pan American, T.W.A. and American Airlines, whose militant pilots only postponed a strike a fortnight ago on special pleas from the National Mediation Board...
