...Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson of Texas, who last week drew the venom of Fair Dealing Columnist Tom Stokes: "It was his aim to get a bill weak enough to keep his Southern colleagues from staging one of those filibusters that show the most nauseating side of the Dixie element that controls the Democratic Party in Congress ... a fraud." Eisenhower Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell, speaking to a Maine audience last week, was quick to take the same line: "Here was a strange drama in which those persons and organizations who normally advocate civil rights deserted those millio young Senator...
...difficult to determine which fit even these broad categories, as Rosenborg's work, neither non-objective nor allegorical, alludes mystically to nature as a vehicle alone. Brilliant bouquets of color, often straight from the tube, alternate with misty formations of warm, mellow light. Seldom is any linear element whatsoever introduced. Rosenborg's variations on a theme of color harmonies are as much the point as his eulogy of nature...
...primary lesson of the Little Rock crisis has been to discourage easy optimism. Integration by moderate means is very improbable except in a few areas. In Arkansas it would seem that a moderate plan was effected, but by highly immoderate means. Deplorable as it is, force is an element which will probably not be absent from successful attempts at integration. Hopes that the South will voluntarily "come around" are largely illusions. The South will submit, but if men like Faubus are its leaders, only when confronted with the choice between integration and resistance against the United States Army...
Trade is only one element in this U.S. strategy of "enlightened liberation." While exchange teams come to the U.S. to study highways, farming, home building and steel production, U.S. experts tour Poland to inspect and suggest.

Both the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations are arranging grants to provide exchange students. One of the most dramatic examples of the new policy at work was the success of the American...
...detail, the Los Angeles situation was perhaps rosier than other U.S. industrial areas (Detroit, in fact, was hurting as auto plants got ready to shut down for changeovers to 1958 models). But it underscored an important element of the continuing wage-price rise: a nationwide shortage of labor, from engineers to drive-in dishwashers. Despite automation and efficient new machines, the demand for labor is greater than ever, e.g., to build the plant for expanding industry, to provide added services-haircuts, repairs, domestic help-for a rank and file with more take-home pay. At the same time the pool...
