...Country Boy." When McKay was governor of Oregon-his biggest job before coming to Washington with Ike-two of the toughest decisions he faced were whether to proclaim daylight time (thus annoying farmers) and whether to ban hunting when forests were tinder-dry (thus annoying Oregon's legions of deerslayers). In Washington McKay's horizons have enlarged considerably, without affecting the size of his hat. As Interior Secretary, he is the nation's biggest landlord, greatest giver of light and water, master of forest and range, controller of minerals and oil, boss of 56,000 people...

Buttressed by government subsidies, Lufthansa's aircraft will soon be taking off again for European...
Also Cough Syrup. In 1952 the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denounced Hoxsey's claims for his cancer tonic as "false and misleading," ordered the district judge in Dallas to forbid interstate sales and shipment of Hoxsey's bottled wares. (Hoxsey and his lawyers delayed the ban for 15 months.) Said the A.M.A.'s watchdog bureau of investigation: "The whole thing reeks of fraud." The American Cancer Society was even more emphatic: "There is nothing in his . . . medicine which has the slightest effect on cancer, except, according to one investigator, to stimulate its growth slightly...
