Congressional leaders have arrived at a working understanding. If there is another Little Rock in the fall, Congress will reconvene notwithstanding the pressure of electioneering. . . . Cyrus Eaton’s attacks on the FBI made page 1 of the New York Times. Attorney General Rogers’ answer got page 15. . . . The Pentagon is bitter over the fact that there is more pressure on Congress for foreign aid than for legislation to maintain our army strength at the 900,- 000-man level.
The Senate has approved appropriations of $10 million to build five “demonstration” plants to convert sea-water for human use. Four of the plants will be in the continental U.S., one in a territorial possession. . . . GOP congressional candidates are finding rising food prices—up almost 7 per cent in the past year—-a source of campaign anguish. . . . Commercial television will play crime down instead of up this fall. The industry finally is impatient with the saturation of crime shows and the bad reaction in police and education circles. . . . N.Y. Republican State Chairman Judson Morhouse’s lobbying for Nelson Rockefeller has affronted the professionals. . . . Adam Clayton Powell Jr. made a hyper-genteel appearance before N.Y. Young Republicans. He will accept Republican designation.
