...Herter was elected to the first of five terms in Congress. He led 17 members of a Select House Committee on Foreign Aid (among them, California's Richard Nixon) on a trip to Europe in 1947, helped clear the way for congressional approval of the Marshall Plan. An early Eisenhower backer, Herter seemed strangely irked when, in 1952, Massachusetts Republicans urged him to run for governor against Democratic Incumbent Paul Dever. Said he: "You're just trying to get me out of Washington." Reason for his discomfiture: he was confident that Ike would be the next President...

Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold's proposed trip to Hungary. When Hammarskjold replied that he was prepared to arrive in Budapest on Dec. 16, Horvath equably relayed this information to his government...
...Dalai Lama's trip was obviously designed by the Reds to promote the notion that Communism and Buddhism stand side by side in their devotion to peace and nonviolence. In India, so far. this line has been fairly successful. At a Buddhist Congress held last month in Nepal, Chinese and Russian speakers virtually enshrined Karl Marx as another reincarnation of the Lord Buddha. But Dr. Bhimrao R. Ambedkar, leader of India's untouchables, who died last week (see MILESTONES), made a notable reply. Said he: "Marx was thought by a large number of Asians, particularly students...
