...officials, newsmen and hangers-on were gathered for the Congress Party's 68th annual convention. Bhubaneswar had worn a festive air. Green, white and saffron party flags fluttered from hundreds of flagpoles, and pictures of Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi adorned shop windows. On his arrival, Nehru was so weak that aides had to lift him from a helicopter, and when he finally was able to walk, he shuffled away with back bent and head bowed. At a flag-raising ceremony, his words were almost inaudible. At the first party sessions, Nehru was quiet and subdued. Then he collapsed...
...Just Indemnification." When the U.S. mission headed by Tom Mann arrived in Panama, along with an O.A.S. mediation commission, Chiari was demanding "just indemnification" for damages and assurances that the U.S. "will never again unloose similar actions of aggression against a weak and innocent people." He denounced the 1903 treaty and all subsequent pacts under which the U.S. has "perpetual" rights to the Canal Zone.

The Crimson has the strength to build up points in the light-weight classes where Cornell is relatively weak, and hold on in the top weights, where the Big Red is strong. Sophomore Mike King has won the 123-pound spot from undefeated Peter Keeler, and Brian Smith at 130 (1-1) has wrestled well in both his matches. Cornell's team has yet to score a victory below the 137-pound class...
...slight edge over the Crimson in its season's record. The Indians have won over Williams, 50-45; Harvard has beaten Springfield and lost to Army and Navy. But the service teams, especially Navy, are unusually strong this year, and losses to them do not necessarily mean Harvard is weak...
