...present its program, deal with the proposals pretty much on their merits, hold off until 1958 (an election year) before unwrapping their own party-labeled legislative package.

If the 1956 elections proved nothing else, they showed that the G.O.P. cannot depend even upon Ike's popularity to give it control of Congress; the key to an improved Republican congressional electoral showing lies in an improved Republican congressional record. In the somewhat unwieldy House, divided 233 Democrats and 200 Republicans (with two vacancies). Leader Joe Martin would just have...

Then tankers plying the cape route to Europe from the Persian Gulf could take a short cut through Suez on the empty return trip, cut their time by 25% and costs proportionately...
...France, where 30% of all factories depend upon oil for fuel, the pinch is already starting to hurt. French railroads are cutting back schedules, switching from diesels to steam engines. Gasoline deliveries are down 20%, and the booming French Riviera tourist resorts are crying disaster; within a few days of the first gasoline restrictions, hotel occupancy dropped as much as 75% below normal. In Denmark and Spain there is also the glum specter of rationing, with fuel supplies down as much as 25%; Sweden and Switzerland have already banned pleasure driving on weekends...
