Some Washington officials fear Anastas Mikoyan may be elevated to an even higher post upon his return, in a Soviet move to reassure U. S. business leaders…. The “inside” rumor that Mikoyan came to the U. S. to line up American financial support in a move to replace Khrushchev has been traced to a Communist functionary in Mexico…..The Soviet moon-sun probe, say Washington insiders, was a dismal failure scientifically but a superb propaganda hoax. The hoax came off unexposed by our scientists because President Eisenhower had rushed his official congratulations to the Kremlin before our space experts had a chance to assess “Lunik.”
Judge Robert Morris has proposed a new Cabinet post for State Government Affairs, with an immediate interim arrangement whereby state governors rotate in attending Cabinet meetings…. Southern senators reportedly have been asked for recommendations to fill the next Supreme Court vacancy…. The House Republican Conference last week voted unanimously to oppose the James Roosevelt bill to abolish the Committee on Un-American Activities.
