Business leaders continued their show of confidence in Johnson. Said Boone Gross, president of Boston's Gillette Co.: "Johnson will get quicker action on some of President Kennedy's bills, and we don't consider any of those harmful." Chase Manhattan Bank President David Rockefeller was "delighted to hear an endorsement of the tax cut, and pleased with the endorsement of thrift and frugality...
Missing Oil. The number of people and companies caught up in the commodity scandal seemed to grow almost daily. Four major New York banks Chase Manhattan, First National City, Manufacturers Hanover Trust, Morgan Guaranty-and 14 other banks are stuck with more than $24 million in bad loans to Haupt, have agreed not to try to collect until customers who lost their stock because Haupt used it to get loans are paid off.

In dozens of roadside hassles, Ethel Merman as Berle's nerve-shattering mother-in-law begins almost every...
...slapstick to coax belly laughs from an episode that has three comedians tearing down a garage with all the deadly, humorless efficiency of a professional demolition crew. Cutting from incident to incident, car to car, ground to air, the film dissipates its fun at every turn, and the only chase to build up steam is a Chase named Barrie, who dances a wicked deadpan twist. Mad World reaches its nadir with an abortive climax that puts Spencer Tracy and ten comedians atop a fire ladder reeling several stories above the street, presumably on the assumption that eleven men suspended...
