Undaunted by the flood of protocol visits, teas, luncheons and dinners, the Queen and her children breasted swarms of friends and well-wishers, managed to turn up in perky form at every assembly on their calendar. At one function, Frederika was called to the telephone, delighted the company with her breezy informality by piping: "Excuse me, I have to go. My husband is calling me." Touring an American National Red Cross center with Red Cross President Alfred Gruenther, she asked if blood donors later got brandy with their coffee. General Gruen-ther told her no, added: "I understand...
...Debate calendar: Saturday. The Democratic Advisory Council-including Harry Truman, Dean Acheson, Adlai Stevenson-put out a razor-sharp statement that the U.S. ought to turn over the Quemoy-Matsu crisis to the U.N., ought to have a plebiscite in Formosa (no mention of the same thing for Red China), also slashed at "world-ambulating" Secretary of State Dulles for dragging the U.S. to "the brink of having to fight a nuclear war."

The expansion continues unabated; Burke expects that the stadium concessions, the new weekly calendar, and the student sampler will employ up to 140 at one time. Last year's total business amounted to nearly $30,000 for 125 students, while the new concessions may boost this total...
Only one major segment of the economy has yet to turn around: car sales. Last week President Lester Lum ("Tex") Colbert showed off Chrysler Corp.'s new line, predicted that the industry's calendar 1959 sales will rise to 5,500,000 or 6,000,000, well above calendar 1958's estimated 4,600,000. But even optimistic Tex Colbert felt that buyers are not yet as enthusiastic as the industry would like. Said he: "People still show some tendency to wait for further signs of recovery before taking on new obligations." To loosen consumer purse strings...
