Sunbathed Neutrals. The Dulles decision won hearty approval in Congress, where cotton-state legislators are nervous about cotton-growing Egypt and where Zionist spokesmen have held Nasser to be the Middle East's archvillain. The Sen ate Appropriations Committee earlier had been so bold as to "order" Dulles not to make the Aswan loan from Mutual Security funds. Dulles firmly resisted such an unconstitutional demand. But the whole argument became academic when Dulles decided, for foreign policy reasons...
Cairo. Replacing Henry A. Byroade in precarious Nasser-land: Raymond Arthur Hare, 55, Director General of the Foreign Service since 1954, an old Mid-East specialist with embassy service in Beirut, Teheran, Cairo and Jidda in the 1930s and '40s, as ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Lebanon in 1950 and '53.

Even before he reached Brioni Nehru began to bill the conference as a casual meeting, arranged only after he learned that by rare coincidence "Nasser also would be traveling in Yugoslavia." And from the moment that Tito, resplendent in a panama white linen suit, white shoes and black pocket handkerchief, greeted him on Brioni's quay, Nehru was clearly determined to let the wind out of the whole affair. At the end of the first five-hour session, with Tito and Nasser standing sheepishly silent, Nehru wearily chided the 120 newsmen...
