Grim looks clouded the faces of Senate Preparedness Subcommittee members last week after Allen Dulles, pipe-puffing boss of the Central Intelligence Agency, testified in secret about the awesome difficulties of U.S. intelligence-gathering inside the Soviet Union. Most worrisome dim spot in U.S. intelligence: estimates of Soviet missile production and deployment are based not on knowledge of actual output but on estimates of missile-making "capability." Some subcommittee members found the present intelligence gap even more distressing than the future missile gap of the early 1960s (TIME, Feb. 9), hinted that they would be willing to vote more money...
...Godesberg sought ways to cope with his threats to Berlin, Khrushchev called a press conference in the Sverdlov Hall of the Great Kremlin Palace to explain that he had been grievously misunderstood. Nattily turned out in a dark business suit enlivened by two gold "Hero of the Soviet Union" medals, Nikita spent two hours adroitly fielding questions from 300 Russian and a handful of Western newsmen. The notion that he had given the West an ultimatum to get out of Berlin by May 27, he said, was "an unscrupulous interpretation of our position." How had the six months deadline come...
Khrushchev delivered this "friendly" warning at a Moscow reception marking the signing with Iraq of a major new $138 million Soviet loan agreement.

Russia now faces the West's old dilemma of trying to keep friendships in balance within the area. For years the Soviet Union has pursued two easily defined aims in the Middle East: 1) the immediate one of ending Western-sponsored defense pacts and neutralizing the area, and so creating what Leninists call a "zone of peace"; 2) the ultimate, but much more ambitious aim, of turning the Middle East into a "zone of socialism." Last summer's sudden overturn of the pro-Western regime of King Feisal and Nuri asSaid in Iraq radically changed Russian aspirations...
...Archbishop Theoklitos, Greek Orthodox Primate of Greece, presenting Grivas with the ancient Greek symbol of victory, a silvered laurel wreath. Grivas was weeping. "Small Cyprus fought Goliath," he said. "It did not succumb." He had consented to a peace that brought self-government to Cyprus but forbade it enosis (union with Greece). He handed the mayor of Athens a small bag of earth taken from his mountain lair, and said emotionally, "This bit of soil, soaked with the blood of Cypriot fighters, will be the link between Cyprus and Greece." His eyes still wet, Grivas was led to a Cadillac...
