...army is mollified by getting plenty of food. On 700 large farms the army raises its own hogs, vegetables and grain. Enlistments far exceed normal requirements, since, as a refugee in Hong Kong put it, "the army's the one place you can get some meat...
...signs, Brandt maintained, show-that the shock and dismay caused by the Wall had begun to wear off. West Berlin's industrial production, said Brandt, is higher than it was a year ago, incoming orders exceed those of October 1960, and employment is on the rise; tax revenues are increasing steadily and savings accounts are satisfactory.

...MANUFACTURERS' NEW ORDERS: They have risen 14% from their recession low and now exceed the rate of sales and shipments. Reported Iron Age last week: "Pressures for an explosion of the steel market are building up. There has been a general improvement of orders on a broad base in the past ten days." Barring a long auto strike, the explosion could well come in September, when Detroit delivers its big steel orders for full-scale production of 1962 cars...
