...began undercutting British firms who were forced to finance their exports at the officially pegged rate of about $2.78. Last week, as sterling grew weaker and "never-never buying" (as the British call installment purchases) sent British consumer indebtedness spiraling to $1.1 billion, Butler reimposed restrictions-and a small dose of austerity...
...chance to act the fiery temptress in a series of foot-stamping flashbacks. On the U.S. Steel Hour, Gertrude Berg played a slightly touched matron whose relatives weuld not believe that she talked on the phone every Sunday to her dead husband. Climax! offered a double dose of misery: both Sylvia Sidney and Diana Lynn suffered and suffered because they chose careers instead of settling for marriage and babies.

...Mild Dose. Things looked so good that the Treasury Department decided to try something it has not dared touch since 1953. Secretary George Humphrey announced that holders of $2.6 billion worth of 2⅞ bonds maturing next month will have the choice of exchanging them for short-term notes or a new 4O-year, 3% bond, the longest-term U.S. obligation since a 1911 issue to help finance the Panama Canal.

Carefully, they picked the men to switch-no Deputy wanted to be the only one in his area to vote for German arms. The Catholics of the M.R.P. had already heard from their Christian Democrat colleagues in Germany and Italy (Amintore Fanfani, boss of the Italian Christian Democrats, made...
...radioactive aftereffects of the U.S. H-bomb tests in the Pacific. Dr. Lapp figures that a is-megaton H-bomb exploded near the ground will make an area of 4,000 square miles, mostly downwind, so radioactive that all people in it will get a "serious to lethal dose" in the first day alone. If they cannot evacuate, they will get more. Dr. Lapp believes that the explosion of 50 superbombs could blanket the entire northeastern U.S. "in a serious to lethal radioactive...
