For the Record

“Nixon defeated Stassen in Caracas a week ago” is the way one GOP leader in Pennsylvania summed up Stassen’s surprisingly poor showing in the state’s primary last week. . . . The Modern Republicans are desperate now, after the defeat of Shanley in New Jersey and Stassen in Pennsylvania. If it becomes clear that Nelson Rockefeller can’t win the GOP gubernatorial nomination in New York, Sen. Javits will be urged to make a bid for control of the big N.Y. delegation to the 1960 Convention…. New York publishers are increasingly irritated that neither the Senate nor the State Department seems interested in the industry’s experiences and recommendations in troubled areas where USIA libraries are targets of anti-U.S. rioting.

Remember the Soviet soldiers — veterans of the famous meeting of USSR and U.S. armies at the Elbe in World War Two — who had a reunion with American “buddies” in this country recently? Washington reports have it that at least two of the Soviet buddies were MVD men, and not army vets. The experience is said to have angered the President, and to be jeopardizing certain phases of the Soviet-American cultural exchange program.
