...home after a 16,000-mile swing through Ankara, Teheran, Karachi and New Delhi, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk squeezed in a short stop in Belgrade. For the diplomatic record, Rusk officially was repaying a 1961 visit to Washington by Yugoslav Foreign Minister Koca Popovic. But there was more to Rusk's courtesy call than that...

The FDA charges flatly that "Krebiozen has been promoted and sold as a cancer remedy." If this is so, FDA now has power to stop its distribution. The Government can ban further use of Krebiozen unless its promoters can show, by June 7, that they are making a truly scientific investigation of it, or that it has shown enough evidence of curative powers to justify...
