Agency Director Allen Dulles: "They will buy anything, trade anything and dump anything if it advances Communism or helps to destroy the influence of the West." Last month, for example, Russia moved heavily into the British aluminum market with lower prices (TIME, April 7). Russia has also sold tin, zinc and soybean products below market prices, is selling trucks, autos and machinery in the Middle East at prices the West cannot match...
...party which lasted all night long. We had half a keg of beer to drink up. We awarded the trophies then, too. We have three trophies--the outhouse trophy, the garbage trophy, and the real good trophy. The first two are roadsigns--one stays in our garbage dump and one over our outhouse. The third is a nice silver cup....But the Outing Club forgot to bring...
...Democratic Party, the other part joining the regular Republicans. In that breakup, the Republicans got saddled with U.S. Senator Bill Langer. And having got him, last week they tried to get rid of him: the state G.O.P. convention voted 348 to 177 on its fifth ballot to dump Wild Bill Langer, 71, in favor of Lieutenant Governor Clyde Duffy, 68.

They argued that Benson will lose the Republicans 20 to 25 House seats and five Midwestern...
These were the qualities that had made President Eisenhower stick with Stassen long after he had made an enemy of nearly everyone else in the Administration with his odd maneuverings, e.g., his abortive attempt to dump Vice President Richard Nixon from the Republican ticket in 1956, and his continued sniping at State Secretary John Foster Dulles' policy on disarmament negotiations withRussia (TIME, Jan. 30). Moving to Pennsylvania, where he has maintained voting residence since his 3½-year stint as president of the University of Pennsylvania, Stassen figures to be just about as welcome as he was in Washington...
