...Continent. In letters, irate European farmers have damned him as "Bolshevist" and a "mad dog." Mansholt replies coolly: "I have a big wastebasket." Cut the Glut. Mansholt has called for an immediate attack on Europe's agricultural surpluses, particularly of sugar and dairy products. The glut of butter, for example, amounts to 400,000 tons, and is known among Germans as the Butterberg (butter mountain). Mansholt wants to cut the butter support price-now 790 a Ib.-by 33%. He also advocates reducing dairy herds by 500,000 heads by paying farmers $300 for every cow they slaughter...

More than half of last year's volume came from such laboratory-developed convenience foods as prepared mixes, fresh-dough products and a growing shelf of calorie-free sweeteners.

...current exhibit, Spock has remodeled an old auditorium. One result is "Grandfather's Cellar," a nook that introduces children to the world their grandparents knew. It contains a washtub with hand wringer, a coffee grinder, butter churn, mechanical apple peeler and a 1927 Atwater-Kent radio-all in working order. In the Algonquin Indian exhibit, children who once learned about Indians by watching a movie and looking at artifacts now grind maize in stone mortars, chip arrowheads and munch dried berries...
