...thatched Thomas d'Alesandro, 35. Mr. Palmisano last week looked like the loser by perhaps 50 votes out of 25,000. As much interested in the outcome as Baltimoreans were residents of the District of Columbia. For as chairman of the House District of Columbia Committee since last April, Mr. Palmisano has been "Mayor of Washington." District of Columbians have been agitating for years, lately with vigor, for the right to vote in national elections. "Mayor" Palmisano was unsympathetic.

...stands was jostled by other potteries, mines, factories. Neighbors' smoke marred the fine finish of glazed Wedgwood ware; sapping shafts of a nearby coal mine made Wedgwood ovens sink two feet; Hanley's congestion, for which Critic Lewis Mumford damned the place as a "non-city" (TIME, April 18), blocked Wedgwood expansion. So the firm bought a wooded 400-acre tract five miles outside the grimy town, planned a $1,500,000 factory with electric ovens and a model town for 600 Wedgwood employes and anyone else who cares to live there. Including the new plant, Wedgwood...
