...chling family is to the steel-rich Saar what the Fords are to Dearborn, Mich. Longtime producers of one-third of the Saar's steel, the Röchlings hold the key to the basin's rich economy, the deciding weight in the industrial balance of power between France and Germany. Both in 1919 and 1946, France took over the Röchling empire in an effort to swallow the Saar. Just 20 months ago Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay promised the French Senate, "The Röchlings will never return to the Saar." But six months after...
...seemed headed for new triumphs in all those states. He led in Kentucky. As returns trickled in from the Midwest, scattered islands of resistance developed. In Michigan, thanks to Democratic Governor Mennen Williams' solid lead over G.O.P. Candidate Albert E. Cobo, Stevenson was ahead in heavily unionized Dearborn and Detroit. In scattered upstate precincts of Michigan and Wisconsin, resentful farmers were whittling down the G.O.P.'s 1952 margin. Elsewhere Democratic bastions were toppling.

...jockeying for position with Senior Democrat Truman began at the Dearborn Street station, where Stevenson was anxious to be photographed with Harry while Candidate Averell Harriman was still back in New York. But, as photographers tried to line up the ex-President and the leading candidate, India Edwards, an old Truman friend and a queen bee of the Harriman forces, jumped in between. When Stevenson went this-a-way, so did India. When Stevenson went thataway, so did India. Finally, Adlai executed a clever flanking movement and came up alongside Truman while the cameras clicked away. Almost unnoticed...
...trying to see where the U.S. is headed. Farm-machine sales were down to the point where J. I. Case Co. shut one of its plants. In the troubled U.S. auto industry there was more talk of production cuts. Holding his first annual meeting, in a big tent in Dearborn, Mich., Henry Ford II put production this year at "less than 6,000,000 units." Said Ford: "Production will remain a negative factor at least until the last quarter." Furthermore, he added, "it seems unlikely that the general economy will expand markedly during the remainder of 1956." The frank talk...
