Allies Help. Against this array Dulles fought a tireless battle. Though Chinese Communists had shown no interest in real negotiations at Warsaw, Dulles ordered U.S. Ambassador Jacob Beam to talk with them again this week. In Manhattan he consulted with Britain's Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd,*who gave a diplomatic dinner for Russian U.N. Delegate Andrei Gromyko to urge Moscow pressure on Peking for peaceful settlement. Dulles met privately with Lloyd and French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville, who began making the Western case in U.N. for an effective cease-fire in the Formosa Strait...
...Herschel Cellel Loveless ("the Democrats have did") is also the despair of Iowa Republicans, still smarting at Loveless' conquest of the traditionally Republican state capital in 1956. Pitted against Loveless this year is tall, lean, scholarly William G. Murray, 55, professor of economics at Iowa State College, a tireless and dedicated campaigner who shook hands in all 99 counties during the primary campaign, will visit all 99 again before November.

Then Monty shook hands with his boyish-looking boss, U.S. Air Force General Lauris Norstad, 51, and drove off. "Silly old boy," mused one British private soldier...
...years ago, tireless Inventor Link took up another hobby-deep-sea diving. Already, Link has co-developed a deep-sea diver's underwater scooter, a torpedo shaped like a hotel hallway's fire extinguisher that tows a diver along behind. Link is building a 91-ft. Diesel yacht specifically designed for undersea exploration with such gadgets as an underwater metal locater for hunting wrecks and buried treasure, so sensitive it picks up tin cans. Next year, Link hopes to use the boat to explore the sunken Roman seaport of Caesarea, off the coast of Israel...
...their tireless effort to determine how Soviet policy is made, Western diplomats are often in the position of anthropologists trying to reconstruct a dinosaur from the evidence of one jawbone. But when Nikita Khrushchev performed his clumsy about-face on the summit meeting last week, the reason was plain to see. He had been driven to it by Red China's Mao Tse-tung...
