...solidly for Wallace. He, in turn, lavishes praise on them. "I don't see how the police restrain themselves as much as they do," he said in Cleveland last week. "If they could run this country for about two years," he has said at other times, "they'd straighten it out." They might even straighten out Alabama, which last year had the highest murder rate in the nation...
...publishers were abandoning the party usually favored by a majority of them. But the G.O.P. is not worrying any more. With only three weeks left in the presidential campaign, the clear choice of the editorial pages is Richard Nixon. Not that the switch has been entirely wholehearted; the Cleveland Plain Dealer, for one, admitted that the decision was hardly "easy." But, said the paper, it had become disenchanted with Humphrey as a "man of the old order. He is campaigning on the past. Richard Nixon is the only candidate in a position to take a new course...
Warner & Swasey Co., the Cleveland machine-tool firm that has a reputation for conservatism, decided to help rebuild the city's riot-seared Hough section. This year, its executives persuaded Robert L. Coles, a Negro machinist and aviation-mechanics teacher, to ally his limping little C & B Machine Co. with Warner & Swasey in a joint venture.

With a $520,000 grant from the Ford Foundation and $251,000 from the Commerce Department, the union has helped finance firms in half a dozen cities. Using such aid, former Barber Dennis Taylor, 29, has built his year-and-a-half-old Magnificent Natural Products...
Safe from Quakes. An odd combination of economic forces lies behind the downtown rebirth. Transit-shy Angelenos rely almost entirely on autos to move around their 464-sq.-mi. city, whose boundaries could encompass the combined areas of St. Louis, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Boston, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Manhattan. While the auto made it easy for Los Angeles to sprawl, earthquake fears made it difficult for the city to grow vertically. Until 1959, a local ordinance limited buildings to a height of 150 feet or 13 stories, whichever was lower. The results of improved structural-testing techniques finally persuaded...
