...most respected U.S. allies reversed itself surprisingly last week. Back home from the Geneva Conference, New Zealand's External Affairs Minister Clifton Webb told Parliament that Red China should now be admitted to the U.N., "in an endeavor to drive a diplomatic wedge between Red China and Russia." New Zealand (which does not itself recognize Red China) has long agreed with the U.S., its ANZUS partner, that Red China should not be admitted until it changes its aggressive ways.

With 29 manufacturing companies scattered through 20 nations, Behn was still not satisfied. Since World War II he has put I.T. & T. in the consumer-goods business, now turns out such items as Capehart-Farnsworth radio & TV sets and Coolerator refrigerators, in addition to a broad range of microwave, switchboard and other communications equipment. But in Behn's empire all was not well. Last week Behn discreetly announced that...
