...against following Bethlehem's line. Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz, for one, tried to persuade Chicago's Inland Steel, next only to Bethlehem and U.S. Steel as a producer of structural shapes, to stand pat. Wirtz had every reason to believe that Inland and its Chairman Joseph L. Block would cooperate: after all, it had been Block's refusal to go along with a proposed across-the-board price increase that forced the rest of the industry to knuckle under to Jack Kennedy...
...this time. Bethlehem's move, said Block, would not be a cause of inflation; rather, it was "the result of inflationary forces already let loose. It seems most unfair to relate higher living costs to steel prices when the average steel price has remained steady for several years." Block thereupon announced that Inland too was raising its price on structural steel by $5 a ton; little Colorado Fuel & Iron followed by posting a $3-per-ton increase on structurals...
...CRIMSON deserves praise for recognizing the significance of the U.S. Court of Appeals decision on the proposed Con Edison Power Plant. However, the comments by Mr. Hugh M. Raup, who was "following the legal battle with interest," deserve some clarification.

All seemed bellissimo when the plan went into effect: children calmly played soccer at the foot of the Spanish steps, where autos once hurtled blithely by; grown-ups ambled wonderingly down the center...
...RAMSEY LEWIS TRIO THEY'RE IN, declared the electric sign atop Chicago's London House. But no one had to be told; the lines of fans snaking around the block last week were testimony enough. Pianist Ramsey Lewis, 30, is not only In, he is the hottest jazz artist going. And amazingly enough, he is going strongest in the rock-'n'-roll market where jazzmen have customarily gone over like the tenor in a burlesque house. The younger generation, it seems, having grown up at a time when the Young Turks of jazz are grimly exploring...
