Many sections of the nation reported the number of polio victims rising rapidly. The U.S. Public Health Service (which tabulates its annual statistics from the third week of March, when cases are fewest) listed a total of 5,415 in the current "polio year," against 4,230 in the same period of 1948. But P.H.S. still insisted that the disease was epidemic only in some areas-Arkansas, Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Southern California...
Another reason for Asahi's success is the interest it takes in its readers' welfare. It underwrites orphan asylums, conducts a free tuberculosis clinic, distributes Christmas presents to the poor, supports the annual All-Japan Baseball Series, has sponsored concert tours by such foreign artists as Violinist Jascha Heifetz. In the 1923 earthquake that wrecked its own Tokyo plant, Asahi raised 2,000,000 yen ($970,000) for disaster relief...
...meet in the cream-walled board room of London's Britannic House. They sit around an oval mahogany table beneath a huge, hanging globe of the world which helps them follow Anglo-Iranian's worldwide operations.

It was Eversharp's ebullient ex-chairman, Martin Straus. In place of Straus, thick-jowled R. Howard Webster of Montreal, Straus's sworn enemy, was running things. Straus had lost control of the company which, in seven meteoric years, had risen, with the help of razzle-dazzle advertising ("the $64 question"), from a $12,078 deficit to peak sales (1946) of $46 million and a $4.2 million...
Straus maneuvered to postpone Eversharp's annual meeting while he tried to line up proxies against Webster. But last week, when the long-deferred meeting finally came, Straus could muster only about 200,000 votes against Webster's 715,379. As Straus's successor on Eversharp's board of directors, Webster brought in James D. Mooney, who had been recently booted out of Willys-Overland Motors' presidency as abruptly as Straus had been booted out of Eversharp...
