...Briefing State Department correspondents last week on the Indonesian crisis, Press Officer Lincoln White took extraordinary pains to praise the work of U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia John M. Allison, 52. Behind-the-scenes reason: Old Far East Hand Allison had already written out his resignation in protest against a series of United Press stories from Washington saying that his reporting on the Indonesian crisis (see FOREIGN NEWS) was inadequate. Allison's Washington friends suspected that Allison's Washington rivals were planting the stories to undercut him. To buoy him up, Secretary of State Dulles cabled Allison a personal...
...Deputy Defense Secretary Donald A. Quarles is becoming Washington's newest scapegoat for its defense troubles. Scientist-Engineer Quarles (Western Electric and Bell Labs) is being blamed for enforcing former Defense Secretary Charlie Wilson's stretch-out and cutback policies with too little protest and too much relish. On Capitol Hill, within a fortnight investigating committees of both House and Senate have been critical of Quarles.

Outraged leaders of the nation's potent Federated Chamber of Industries bore down on Pretoria to protest De Klerk's interference with their business. De Klerk backed down and postponed enforcement of his order, but the garment workers' union was not satisfied. Last week it announced that some 12,000 Negro garment workers in the for-whites-only classification will "stay away from their jobs" (Negroes are not allowed to "strike" in South Africa) to drive home a hard fact seldom faced by Strydom's fanatics: a strict application of apartheid would paralyze South Africa...
