...week to a meeting of the 18-nation Colombo Plan organization, set up by the British Commonwealth in 1950 to foster economic development in Asia. On the way, he stopped off in Ohio for a spell of duckhunting as the guest of his good friend and former Treasury Secretary, Cleveland Millionaire George Magoffin Humphrey. Arriving at Toledo, which had gone overwhelmingly Democratic three days earlier, Ike found an airport crowd of 2,500 waiting in 42° chill to show him that no matter how Toledans voted, they still like Ike. As the crowd started cheering and clapping, the President...
...Cleveland Industrialist (steel, rubber, paint) Cyrus Eaton called his talk "A Capitalist Looks at the Commissars" and his audience-a National Press Club luncheon in Washington-sat popeyed at what they heard. On his recent trip to Russia, Eaton was so impressed with Soviet good will and "dedication to work," so eager to believe in a Khrushchev who had offered him palmolive-branch assurances ("He wants to make peace with us.

College football's closest counterpart to Cleveland's Jimmy Brown is Richard Lee Bass, 189-lb. Negro halfback from little (enrollment: 1,670) College of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif.

...midseason 1958, a big (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.) Negro fullback named James Nathaniel Brown of the Cleveland Browns is the most spectacular professional football player in the U.S. With the twelve-game season only half gone, Jimmy Brown, 22, is already within a whisker of topping the all-time pro records for touchdowns (18) and total rushing yardage (1.146) set by Philadelphia's Steve Van Buren in the 19403. In six games Brown has piled up 15 touchdowns, gained 928 yards, been the prime mover in the Cleveland Browns' try for their eighth division championship...
...Cleveland's Coach Paul Brown grabbed Jimmy in the draft, built a new ground offense around Brown. Last year Jimmy led the league in ground-gaining, was runaway choice for rookie of the year. This year, with Rookie Speedster Bobby Mitchell operating at halfback to keep the defense spread to cover an outside threat, Cleveland has the best ground game the pro league has seen in years...
