...Institute on Overseas Churchmanship," under sponsorship of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Participants -mostly Presbyterians, with a sprinkling of Baptists, Congregationalists, Lutherans and Episcopalians-included an architectural engineer who commutes to Korea, a doctor and his wife going to Iran, a minister on his way to the American Church in Paris. Conferees listened to experts on such varied subjects as the mission work of the church, on the implications of the industrial revolution in Asia for Christianity, on population problems, "cultural empathy," and on Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism and Roman Catholicism. Again and again they returned in their discussions...

...marching forward, solid and continuing. Items: ¶ Auto output dipped a bit, but still cruised on 7% ahead of 1958. Most of the decline (down to 117,050 units, v. 119,678 the week before) was caused by parts shortages, but production is expected to rise again this week. American Motors, still working a six-day week, kept producing and selling Ramblers apace. ¶ Steel production, though somewhat behind the forecasts, set a 19-month high with 76.9% of rated capacity and 2,178,000 tons' actual production.
