John M. Voyrs R-O. a key member of the House-j Foreign AL Committee, said “t h e whole thing soiinds fairly regular." But I fail to fiild anything cheering in it." Rep. Clement J.

Theodore F. Green D‘R.l. said, “on general principles I do not anticipate any fundamental changes in policy.” A And Sen. William J.

' (from a leading magazine) h PRESIDENT EISENHOWER caused an international incident a couple of months ago. He said he had esten better pizza in the little Italy section of New York than he had ever sampled ih Naples, Italy. To the proud pizza makers of Naples, where y the succulent pie originated 200. years ago, Eisenhower’s remarks were heresy. You might as well say that you can find better baked b6ans in San Francisco than in Boston, or better shrimps creole in Chicago than in New Orleans. O | 1 Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Il whole incident was that the dispute was over , pizza—before World War II little known in the United States QUfside Italian circles. It pointed up the fact that pizza now become a favorite of all races and classes in this country. There are at least 15,000 pizzerias in the United States which bake and sell pizza on the premises, plus 100,000 or more stores and markets which distribute ready-made refrigerated or frozen pizza.
