Philippine senator vows to sever US ties over tobacco row
Manila Philippine senator Roseller T Lim warned that the Philippines could cut ties with the United States if American congressmen block approval of Philippine war damage claims and retaliate by limiting Philippine tobacco imports. Lim argued that a 3 million kilo tobacco allotment cannot buy friendship and recalled past battles before urging diversification of markets and allies. The speech came as US lawmakers pressed to admit disputed tobacco shipments amid a $73 million war claims bill stalled by the dispute and a Philippine demand to remove the shipments as illegal.

Western airmen back protest fly corridor over Berlin
Western military planes backed protests to Moscow and flew the Hamburg Berlin corridor as the Soviets pressed to reserve lower air lanes. Despite bad weather, at least one U.S. plane used the route while commercial flights continued normally. Allies warned of patrols if Soviet harassment continues and stressed each flight must be scheduled by the four power center. Diplomatic exchanges warned of risks to Geneva disarmament talks and Khrushchev summit prospects as Soviet claims to exclusive use drew Western objections.
