...trouble in CBS's news department is something that no reorganization, however sweeping, is likely to cure. In Douglas Edwards, CBS still has one of the best of the television newscasters. But aside from Edwards, the network, which pioneered in television newscasting and for years stood a tall first in the field, is now losing out to its competitors. During the Kennedy inauguration last month, NBC's news team of Chet Huntley and Dave Brinkley drew more viewers than CBS and ABC combined; in Election Year 1960.

Alberta Premier Ernest Manning charges the federal government with "catering to a small element of bigoted nationalists" in a way that could only bring harm to the Canadian economy. Many businessmen, particularly oilmen, who need big chunks of investment capital, argue that Canadians do not have the funds to finance major projects themselves. Calgary's Oilweek trade bible cited as a typical case a nearly completed, $90 million financing by Canadian-owned Alberta Gas Trunk Line Co. Ltd. for a pipeline-gathering system...
