For the Record

The Senate picture is still far from clear if we bear in mind the fact that Rhode Island’ s senior senator, Theodore Green, is 89 years old and West Virginia’s Neely and New Mexico’s Chavez—both Democrats—are reported in uncertain health. The significance of this is that all three states will have Republican governors in 1957—and the GOP needs to win only one additional Senate seat to win control of the upper chamber.

Thomas Wailes, the U.S. Minister to Hungary, has failed so far to present his credentials to the Hungarian Government, reportedly because he refuses to go through a ring of Soviet tanks to reach the foreign ministry…. Five Russian soldiers were reported killed in a mutiny in northeastern Hungary a fortnight ago when they refused to fire on a Hungarian mob…. By Christmas, 150,000 Hungarians had fled the country—1.6 per cent of Hungary’s total population.
