Last week, in the face of a rising outcry, both the Kennedy Administration and Dwight Eisenhower were defending their transactions with Yugoslavia. The theory behind the program is that U.S. aid helps Yugoslavia's dissident Communist Tito from falling into the Soviet Union's smothering embrace. Such aid, said State Secretary Dean Rusk, has unquestionably helped Yugoslavia to stay independent of the Soviet bloc. The sale of the planes, said Ike, was "in the best interests of the United States...
...despite its defense of the jet sale, the Kennedy Administration has taken the overall question of aid to Yugoslavia under close review. President Kennedy was angered by the hostility Tito displayed toward the West at the Belgrade conference of neutrals last month. Requesting a 500,000-ton shipment of surplus U.S. wheat to supplement their poor harvest, Yugoslav officials were informed last week by U.S. Ambassador George Kennan that no such commitment would be made-at least for the time being.

One of the major triumphs of the exhibit, however...
...very earnest and quite uninebriated fellow, and engaged him in a discussion on doctors incomes that on the reception given to President Nkrumah Ghana when he paid Tito a visit before the Belgrade Conference. Exercising uncanny ability to sniff out a political discussion--even from the other side a pitch-black room that fairly tremble from the blasts of Satchmo's horn--the others shouted at the host to "cut this Communist propaganda...
