...West were glowering in immobilized anger, Hammarskjold quietly slipped into Peking in 1955 and negotiated the release of 15 captive U.S. flyers. When the British, French and Israelis attacked Egypt in 1956 and were told to retreat by the U.S., Hammarskjold organized the first world police force to keep order in the Middle East. Never making statements from which he would have to retreat, never committing others to public positions that they could not defend, Hammarskjold has cautiously moved behind a cloud of equivocal words to win an Arab-Israeli truce that has lasted four years.

He specifically named as chief assassins moderate Senate Speaker Joseph Ileo and two of his old political rivals, Jean Bolikango and Albert Kalonji...
...strong appeal to nationalist leaders like Lumumba -he flew on to London. A passel of Fascist-minded Mosleyites picketed the Ritz Hotel where Lumumba stopped, and Ghana's High Commissioner in Britain, Sir Edward Asafu-Adjaye, was knocked down by two of the Mosleyites, whose slogan is "Keep Britain White!" Unscathed, as usual, Patrice Lumumba reached New York's Idlewild airport this week. Speaking to a dawn patrol of newsmen, Lumumba said softly that peace in Congo "is conditioned on the immediate withdrawal of Belgian troops," and offered his "compliments and friendship" to President Eisenhower.
