With bottomless patience the Taylor panel had been trying all week to cut through the murk of charges and counter-charges and down to the core facts of the strike. But they got little help from either Steelworker President Dave McDonald or Steel Industry Negotiator R. Conrad Cooper. With nearly 90% of the nation's steelmaking capacity idled since mid-July, with layoffs spreading rapidly through the economy as manufacturers shut down for lack of steel (see BUSINESS), McDonald kept spouting purple rhetoric, Cooper kept spouting dun-grey generalities. Said Chairman Taylor at one of the sessions...
...People's Court. From Jordan, where young King Hussein still dreams of succeeding to the vanished Iraqi throne of his murdered cousin, King Feisal, came reports of troop and aircraft movements toward the Iraqi border. And on Iraq's southern frontier, Saudi Arabian agents, anxious to prevent either Hussein or the Communists from taking power in Baghdad, moved among border tribesmen spreading money and promises...

Boot-Faced Aunts. Among the most significant results of the elections was the fact that the Labor Party had lost much of its appeal to youth. Said London's Tory Daily Telegraph: "The younger generation regards the Socialists either as strangers or as a collection of austere, button-booted, boot-faced, half-fossilized aunts, embittered by grim repressions and memories of something nasty seen down in the coal mine." The Mirror, a shrill echo of Labor Party slogans, plainly shared in Labor's loss of appeal to youth...
Some reduction of suite capacity took place over the summer, but not enough to provide the "one study-bedroom per student" ideal proposed last spring. Further deconversion will be necessary, certainly, in Mather Hall, which becomes part of Quincy House next year. Either Mather is deconverted and becomes more attractive to Quincy juniors and seniors, or it becomes a "dumping ground" for sophomores or for scholarship students attracted by lower prices...
