...House passed, 399 to 14, the Administration's social security bill to 1) boost minimum monthly benefits from $33 to $40, and 2) permit men to retire and collect 80% of their usual benefits at 62 instead of 65, as women are already allowed to do. If the Senate, as expected, approves, the bill will boost social security benefit payments by $750 million in its first year of operation, raise social security taxes for employees and employers from the present 3% each on the first $4,800 of income to 3⅛% next year...
Seeds of Disaster. The dragon seeds of last week's disaster were sown as far back as mid-1960.

Direct intervention was ruled out, barred by a natural distaste for it, by a fear of raising the old cries of Yankee imperialism, and by specific U.S. pledges under the treaty of the Organization of American States.

She showed up fashionably late for the opening night of the Washington Opera Society season, arm in arm with Adlai Stevenson and a daughter of Konrad Adenauer, and she announced that she had discovered, hidden away in White House storage, a gilt pier table ordered by James Monroe...
Smith laid the major blame for the airlines' straits on the Civil Aeronautics Board for its "lavishness" in awarding new routes to "needy" trunk airlines. This policy, said Smith, hurts the bigger airlines while seldom helping the feeders. Smith recommends instead more mergers to benefit the public, such as the merger that joined Capital and United Airlines. But CAB last week announced that it has decided to go slow on approving future mergers. Main reason for allowing Capital to merge with United, said CAB, was that there was no other way to keep Capital operating...
