After Roy Cohn and G. David Schine made their cyclonic 17-day tour of Europe last April (TIME, April 20), Cohn said the trip had cost Joe McCarthy's Senate Investigations Subcommittee "zero." Last week Foreign Operations Administrator Harold Stassen revealed that the U.S. Government paid out more than one zero, with numbers attached, for the junket.

...Argentina for a brief weekend visit as part of his Latin American fact-finding and good-will mission, Milton Eisenhower received an all-out welcome from that old yanqui-baiter, Juan Perón. The Peronista press proclaimed: "The Argentine people have again set back their American calendars to zero hour, day one." The President took his guest to the prizefights and to a rip-roaring soccer match. At lunches and dinners they talked for several hours.
