For the Record

Rumors that Bobby Kennedy will resign as Attorney General taking hold. Reason given: JFK is now convinced he’ll be battling Goldwater next year; he expects hard fight and wants Bobby to head the campaign staff. Brother-in-law Stephen Smith had been tagged for job when White House believed Rockefeller would be the challenger …. Managing the pix: two army officers not-so-accidentally stepped between the President and photographers just as JFK shook hands, briefly, with Tito …. Congressmen, already up in arms over State Department decision to give former Rep. Charles Porter (D. of Ore.), an early Fidel Castro fan, a visa to Cuba, even more alarmed over reports Porter will negotiate another prisoner ransom deal…. Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker’s Committee for the Monroe Doctrine warns that Kennedy may be “prepared to accept Communist control of Cuba and even seek ways and means of assisting Castro.”

Conor Cruise O’Brien, former UN official in the Congo who spilled the beans on UN falsification of facts during Katanga fighting, says United States is so sensitive to African opinion that it would back the use of UN forces against Angola, Southern Rhodesia, Mozambique and South Africa if the African governments “insist” on it.
