...Senate-passed Kennedy-Ives labor reform bill "on the Speaker's desk," and thus ready for floor action under special committee-bypassing rules, despite insistent protests of the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that the bill ought to go through the normal committee channel. If sent to committee so late in the session, the bill would die there, and that is just what the N.A.M. and the Chamber want.

When the builders complete a channel that deep, 80% of the world's cargo ships will be able to steam-with at least a few inches of water under their keels-into any port along the Great Lakes' 8.300-mile shore line.

Going upstream from Lake St. Francis, ships will move into the Wiley-Dondero Ship Channel, rise a total of 90 ft. in the Snell Lock and the Eisenhower Lock ("Ike's dike," in seaway slang), pass on into the new, still unnamed lake. At the western end of the lake, a 5-ft. lift in Ontario's Iroquois Lock will hoist westbound ships into the calm waters of the upper St. Lawrence for easy steaming upstream to Lake Ontario...
...Unapproachable Greatness." This week Oscar will start skidding amuck two evenings a week (for $900 a performance -$300 more than KCOP-TV gave him) on KHJ-TV's Channel 9. By now knowing which side its customers are buttered on, Philco was expected to tag along prudently with its peevish star. Promised Oscar: "I'll treat them like Queen Mary visiting the poor...
