Last week the dolittle, talk-much Democratic Advisory Council (among the members: Adlai Stevenson, Harry Truman. Soapy Williams) fired another salvo at Johnson & Co.: "[The voters] expect and are entitled to have in this Congress more tangible results of the mandate they gave the Democratic majority last November than they have received to date...

Sterling estimates that operating cost of the Chicago plant will be $12 to $15 per ton of sludge v. $45 per ton for older methods.
