When the votes were counted, the results proved a moderately encouraging victory for moderation. Of the 233 House of Representatives seats at issue, well over a two-thirds majority were won by the Democratic Party of former Vice President John M. Chang, whose defeat in a crooked election last March triggered the overthrow of Rhee. The Democrats also made heavy inroads in the Pusan factory districts, where the Socialists, running on a "recognize Red China" program, had high hopes...

A Chinese Communist trade delegation to Cuba, headed by Deputy Foreign Trade Minister Lu Hsu-chang, closed a deal with National Bank President Ernesto ("Che"') Guevara to buy 500,000 tons of Cuban sugar each year for five years.
