Carl J. Friedrich, professor of Government, blasted last night the State Department, Congress, and the press for their "dismal failure" in the realm of foreign affairs. He spoke before an overflow crowd of 200 in the Littauer Auditorium.

He considered a prospect of world government "impossible" since "no one has solved the problem of how to create a workable federation."
