...angry formal note on the slow-moving Geneva nuclear test-ban talks, the State Department accused the Soviet Union of "sabotaging" the negotiations. Specifically, the U.S. statement answered the Soviet demand for a three-man administrative council-rather than a single, neutral director-to supervise nuclear-test inspections. "The Government of the U.S.," said the note, "believes that this rejection of the idea of an international civil servant acting impartially under guidance from international policy-making organs constitutes nothing less than an attack upon the executive capacity of any international organization for effective action." In the interests of peace...
...Rejecting Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's demand that a three-man secretariat replace Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold as head of the U.N., the U.S. promised to use its veto to preserve the status quo. Russia's "troika" proposal, argued Rusk, not only "flies in the face of everything we know about effective administration" but attacks "the equal rights and opportunities now enjoyed by all members of the General Assembly-and the protection afforded them by the U.N.'s peace-keeping machinery...

It insists several times that it does not want to provide "a sanctuary for mediocrity" and is in no way influenced "by a spirit of anti-Americanism or of Canadian ultranationalism," and has no designs against freedom of the press. But it proposes, by rejuggling advertising rates and other punitive devices, to end the great popularity in Canada...
...three-man Commission* expressed its impatience with "venerable and sanctified cliches about 'press freedom' shouted at the Commission through so many of its hearings," protested that it had no "desire to create a protected haven or storm shelter for Canadian periodicals, and least of all a sanctuary for mediocrity." It declared "that a Canadian periodical press given to a narrow, bigoted nationalism would not be worth salvation." But in its proposals to end the "unfair" threat from the U.S. periodicals that comprise 75% of the magazines Canada reads, the Commission made recommendations that the Winnipeg Free Press described...
