...more than most Soviet satellites, the regime of Hungarian Puppet Janos Kadar is regarded by the U.S. with revulsion. Ever since Kadar was installed by Soviet bayonets that snuffed out the 1956 revolution, the U.S. conducts almost no trade relations with Hungary, maintains a skeleton legation and only a chargé d'affaires in Budapest. In addition, on the motion of the U.S., the U.N. General Assembly every year schedules the Hungarian question for debate, receives a report from the U.N.'s special representative, New Zealand's Sir Leslie Munro, on the continuing suppression of human rights...
Hagerstown, Md., which shamed the nation in March when the local Howard Johnson restaurant refused to serve Dr. William Fitzjohn, then chargé d'affaires from Sierra Leone, mended its offenses last week. After inviting the visitor back to town (just before his departure to become High Commissioner to the Court of St. James's), Mayor Winslow F.

Also gracing the town's first...

Bourguiba picked as his emissary Information Minister Mohammed Masmoudi, who called...

The Crown Prince promised to set up a true constitutional monarchy, and to allow the creation of political parties-for which his father has no taste. In the Congo, Ethiopian Chargé d'Affaires Sabour Ahadou gleefully got out a statement hailing the coup as "the long-awaited revolution that marks the end of centuries of feudal oppression, injustice, arbitrary personal rule, corruption, suppression of fundamental human rights and the imprisonment of thousands of people...
...British government has decided to change its stand on Red China, which Britain recognized in 1950 (only to have Peking treat its chargé d'affaires like an inconsequential emissary from a banana republic). Out of deference to U.S. feelings, Britain has voted year after year to bar Red China from U.N. membership. "As a practical matter," said Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs Joseph Godber last week, "we think [Red China] should be in" the U.N., and "we hope to discuss this question" with the new U.S. Administration "at an early stage...
