...There, half a dozen Negroes jumped two policemen who had handcuffed a drunk for arrest. From that scuffle the rioting spread over 50 blocks, burst into a full-scale pitched battle between several thousand Negroes and 500 cops. Rioters overturned squad cars, assaulted white motorists with bottles, rocks and bare fists, and looted shops while burglar alarms clanged unnoticed. Police at first tried to hold back the mob with night sticks, soon switched to tear gas, police dogs and fire hoses.

Total Western European output is expected to rise 90% to $600 billion, and productivity per worker in the projected 147 million-man work force will jump 70%. Unemployment, which was a bare 3,000,000 in 1962 and is even less now, is expected to drop...
