Formosa talks delayed by Chou En Lai tactics at Afro Asian meet
Chinese Premier Chou En Lai forced postponement of an eight nation Afro Asian conference session in Bandung Indonesia by objecting to terms on human rights and parliamentary procedure. The political committee later adopted UN human rights language. The delay sparked speculation he sought to stall specific Formosa proposals. The Colombo group then invited Communist China and Turkey to assist in the Middle East crisis.

Postal Workers Pay Raise Debate Reaches House
The House weighs how large a pay raise to grant 503000 postal workers. Administration backers push 7.6 percent while supporters push 8.2 percent, amid GOP divisions and a Senate 10 percent proposal. Republican leader Martin says 8.2 would face a veto and likely fail to override. Senate endorses 10 percent in contrast. Also Vinson forecasts approval for a compulsory military reserve program, while some Republicans remain cautious.
