...Committee. Western diplomats and analysts are in general agreement that Russia now has a committee government, in which no one has clearly emerged as No. 1, because most of the committeemen are resolved that no one should. Khrushchev, as party boss (Stalin's old job) and by force of personality, is the man with most to say. But the rest do not jump to do Khrushchev's bidding as they did in Stalin's day. At least...
...Administration objected to a newly added Senate amendment barring the businessmen from policymaking posts. Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks warned the committeemen that the Senate amendment would prevent Government "from using the best men available." Citing the WOCs who administer 15 out of 25 industry divisions in his department's Business and Defense Services Administration, the Commerce Secretary in effect challenged the skeptical Congressmen to find a "single case ... of even the slightest impropriety."

But the committeemen hadn't heard anything yet: Ike's speech was merely the first public outcropping...
...Committee has not achieved its fine work without a struggle. Combined Charities Committeemen groaned when the Dean's Office clamped down two years ago on term bill pledges, because they affected the University's tax status. As the direct result of this restriction contributions last year dropped from the $18,000 total of the year before to $12,000. But the value of charitable contributions made by students rather than by their parents is indisputable. Students this year should take the Committee's handicap as a challenge to raise their contributions to former levels. The motto of the Combined Charities...
