...President, that Thursday was quite a day. He chatted briefly with West Virginia's Jo Ann Odum, 19, who will soon represent the U.S. in the Miss World Pageant. He lunched-after several postponements-with the brass of Advise and Consent, being filmed in Washington (see SHOW BUSINESS). Later, he received a delegation from a businessmen's group headed by U.S. Steel Chairman Roger Blough.

But in the Preminger movie, he will play a reticent, somnolent solon from Arkansas-a formidable frustration to a man who once described himself as a "veritable peripatetic bifurcated volcano...
...automatically engaged in restraint of interstate trade. Because the merger was officially, though not actually, in force, Federal Judge John M. Cashin refused Justice its temporary injunction. But this was cold comfort to Manufacturers Hanover Trust, for first thing this week the Justice Department, with Judge Cashin's consent, will be back in court requesting annulment of the merger...
