Basic Confidence. No one probed his district more energetically than Michigan Republican Charles E. (for Ernest) Chamberlain, 40, who performs the neat feat of representing two areas (Flint and Lansing) heavily populated with Democratic auto workers, and one Republican rural county. Freshman Chuck Chamberlain earlier had sent 100,000 questionnaires on aid, trade and taxes to his Sixth District, had tabulated the 11,000 replies (57% against a tax cut, 35% in favor, 8% undecided). On his first night home in East Lansing, Chamberlain dropped a log on his foot, bruised it badly...
...your Congressman. What can I do to help you?" In depressed Flint (Buick) and Lansing (Oldsmobile), everybody wanted an end to automobile excise taxes. In rural Livingston County, farmers (average holding: 150 acres) suggested that Congress help by easing farm controls and leaving them alone. Congressman Chamberlain talked as well as listened. Demanded auto workers: Why not levy higher duties on foreign cars? Answered Chamberlain: "We have to let those cars come in. They're our balance in trade for hundreds of thousands of U.S. trucks sold to our friends abroad every year...
...longtime president of Manhattan's Bowery Savings Bank, dollar-a-year man in F.D.R.'s first Administration, adviser to New York mayors over a span of five decades; in Winter Park, Fla. Bruère, who gave New York its first budget system, was named city chamberlain in 1914, resigned after two year because he thought his $12,000-a-year office should be abolished (it was, 20 years later). Turning to banking at 45, he became president of the world's largest mutual savings bank...
...cultivating his backyard (with an occasional foray into Pennsylvania), Schaus has created an anomaly in big-time college basketball: a home-grown team. North Carolina combs the New York subway circuit for its players, and Kansas stretched out to Philadelphia for Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain. But Schaus finds his stars in towns like East Bank (pop. 1,500) and Shinnston (pop. 2,793). As a result, the state rightly looks on the team as its own, not a high-priced import, follows its games with chauvinistic zeal...
Long before game's end, the specialists in the press box were wondering whether Robertson did not look better in his New York debut than such greats as La Salle's Tom Gola, De Paul's George Mikan or even Kansas' Wilt Chamberlain. Robertson's points lifted his game average to 32.1, second in the nation only to Chamberlain's 32.2, led Coach George Smith to muse: "You know, this is the first time we ever let this guy loose." On the loose again two nights later as his team smashed North Texas State...
