...Minnesota's Senators Hubert Humphrey and Edward J. Thye and four Minnesota Congressmen discovered that to return home to Minneapolis as honorary delegates to this week's tenth anniversary session of the World Health Organization they had to be cleared as nonsecurity risks under...
...sponsored and attended by President Eisenhower, is scorned as "just a gesture" by U.S. friends such as Galo Plaza. Except for Communist crises -the Red threat to Guatemala -Secretary of State Dulles is virtually inaccessible to hemisphere diplomats for serious discussions. He is criticized for staying at the 1954 Tenth Inter-American Conference in Caracas just long enough to jam through an anti-Communist resolution, and fly home, leaving the question of economic relations, dear to the hearts of the other delegations, to be handled by subordinates...
...History Department, with 15 conference courses offered this year, serves the largest graduate body of the three departments. Less than one-tenth of the enrollment in conference groups is undergraduate. This is barely 2 per cent of all undergraduate history concentrators.

While the U.S. program has benefited almost every non-Communist country, Russia has concentrated 95% of its aid in key countries it hopes to win. In Egypt, Syria, India, Afghanistan, Indonesia and Yugoslavia, the total Soviet program during the last 2½ years has been double the free world's. The U.S. grants...
