Though Hoechst is prepared for increasing competition from Italian and French chemical com panies within the Common Market, and from British and U.S. firms outside it, Winnaker does not seem very worried about the future.

Winnaker intends to keep up the flow. Hoechst's new research facility is so designed that next...

When Ben Youssef was murdered in West...
...week's end. the eight-team A.F.L. already had half of its first-round draftees under contract for the 1963 season, com pared with five of 14 for the N.F.L. The biggest money fights are still to come -over college stars who are playing in post season bowl games, cannot sign binding pro contracts until after the holidays. The top prizes on the auction block are Mississippi Tackle Jim Dunaway, Alabama Center Lee Roy Jordan and Louisiana State Halfback Jerry Stovall, all first-stringers on TIME'S pro-picked All-America, and all No. 1 draft choices...
