...Iowa there are seven Republican congressional incumbents, one Democratic. Iowa had a bumper corn crop this year, but farmers complain bitterly about being caught in a price-cost squeeze, and Democratic candidates work hard at blaming it on Benson. Republicans, in turn, have made labor corruption a major issue; e.g., in 1956 Democratic Governor Her'schel Loveless got $17,5°° in Teamsters' campaign contributions in violation of state law. Republicans have high hopes that Robert Waggoner, former administrative assistant to Iowa's popular G.O.P...
...There, in 1956, Republican Incumbent Karl Le-Compte, 71, won his tenth term by running strong in small towns and carrying 50.7% of the vote against Farmer-Lawyer Steven Carter, 43. This year LeCompte has retired, but Democrat Carter, still trying, is making headway among farmers caught in the cost-price squeeze and in the squeezed small towns that depend on farmers. To replace LeCompte, the Republicans nominated personable John H. Kyi, 39, hard-driving farmer, newscaster and co-owner of a men's clothing store in the Davis County seat of Bloomfield (pop. 2,600). Kyi has worked...
...Heavy Cost. Grossman himself is a left-wing British Socialist who edited The God That Failed (TIME, Jan. 9. 1950), a damning indictment of Communism by former party members and fellow travelers. Taken on a conducted tour by the Chinese Reds, he was somehow persuaded that formation of the communes was actually "spontaneous and unforeseen by the State Planning Commission." Yet even the establishment of the far milder cooperative farms met with considerable opposition among Red China's peasants. In Kwangtung province alone 118.000 peasants and their families deserted cooperative farms in 1956. Peking itself admits that the establishment...
Headlines and advertising copy were not all that Sovetskaya Kultura was mad at. It charged Russian advertisers with "bashfulness" where prices are concerned: "It must be said that.in most cases the ad is silent about the cost of the goods it advertises, although this question is of great interest to the customer." And window displays are hopeless. Either they are too static, showing nothing but pyramiding cans of meat and vegetables, or they are unchanged from year to year, or-even worse-they do not correspond to what is available in the store. Lamented Sovetskaya Kultura...
...America, however, are supposed to have gotten beyond all that. Our founding fathers knew, and all who read history honestly know, that our freedom from totalitarian systems, political, theological, or both, was won with great courage and cost. It was won for the sake of a better life, at least here and now, for all; a life in which every man could think and worship as he pleases, whether he be right or wrong, and in the majority or a minority, so long as others have the same right. The resulting interplay can create still better views. This principle allows...
