...Time May Be Coming." Significantly, the issue on which Knowland chose to hit hardest was labor policy. Goodie Knight has announced that he would refuse to sign any right-to-work bill in deference to California's large and politically powerful labor forces, who mortally hate and fear the prospect of the open shop. Last week Knowland not only called for "a just and equitable right-to-work law" but went a strong step farther. Said he: "The time may soon be coming when Congress may have to apply the same antitrust laws to the big unions...
...Reason No. 3 was that tens of thousands of McCarthy-style Republicans, licking their wounds after Ikeman Kohler beat the right-wingers in the recent, seven-man Republican primary (TIME, Aug. 12), simply chose not to vote. In Outagamie County, Joe McCarthy's county, Proxmire got 35% of the vote in 1954, 25% in 1956, almost 50% last week. A bright Democratic-Farmer-Labor machine, amply financed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, supported by such visiting stars as Massachusetts' Senator John Kennedy and the farmers' friend Estes Kefauver, put on a vigorous doorbell-ringing drive...
Walter Philip Reuther, 49, the redheaded boss of the 1,500,000 United Automobile Workers and vice president of the 15-million-man A.F.L.-C.I.O., remained utterly aloof from the tawdry discourse about Jimmy Hoffa and Johnny Dio going on in Washington.

Aware of public concern about inflation, Reuther astutely proposed that the big three automobile makers cut prices on 1958 models by $100 or more below 1957 prices, whereupon his union would give "full consideration" to lower company earnings...
...also economic. One thought that gives Western statesmen worry is what would happen if Syria were to cut not only her Iraqi pipelines but also the Tapline route from Saudi Arabia (see map); these pipelines carry one-third of the Middle East's oil output. If Egypt chose to close the Suez at the same time, the West would really...
...country's largest glacier to salvage a crashed Stinson seaplane, it started out as a creaky air service between coastal fishing villages, sent its first DC-4 from Reykjavik to Copenhagen in 1947. It got a transatlantic permit from the U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board in 1952, and chose Nick Craig, a Pan American sales executive, as board chairman, president and chief executive. "I did everything but fly the planes," says Craig. Flying the planes, as stipulated by the country's lawmakers, is a job performed entirely by Icelanders, many of. whom started as glider pilots. The line...
