...dander up, Moss also fired off a five-page report on the sergeants' case to Air Force headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany, and in Washington, requesting an investigation "of the highest order." i.e., by Congress. Noted the report flatly: "It is against American law, both military and civilian, to obtain confessions by force, brutality or torture . . ." Then, driving to the heart of the matter, Moss wrote that before the sergeants' arrest, the morale of U.S. forces in Izmir was high, but now "service men here [feel] that they are being let down by their own civilian national representatives...
Last week, in response to Gomulka's pleas, Russia grudgingly agreed to sell the Poles 3,000 tons of meat-about one day's supply.

Anderson underscored what the delegates already knew: the U.S. is suffering from a deficit in its balance of payments that is causing an outflow of gold from the U.S., steadily raising the amount of U.S. gold earmarked for European nations. The time has come, said Anderson, for the rest of the world to give a helping hand...
