his mind was on the strategic i'm

Last spring at the General AS

the withdrawal of ambassadors.
Some of the smaller nations decided
on that basis to resume full diplo-

dispatched new diplomatic chiefs
to the Spanish capital.
President Truman himself is said
to have been favorably disposed
toward sending another ambassa-

Winds Of hurricane velocity ex-
