When courtly Antonio Segni was named Premier of Italy in July 1955, Roman wags, who did not expect his government to survive the summer, promptly dubbed it "the seaside Cabinet." Last week when Summer Premier Segni finally handed in his resignation, he had been head of Italy's government for 22 months-longer than any Premier since Alcide de Gasperi...
...Publisher Loeb is made of more carefully tempered stuff than Wisconsin's McCarthy; few New Hampshiremen expect a censure resolution (a questionable step in this instance) to crimp his rambunctious style. A Neanderthal Republican whose father was Teddy Roosevelt's secretary, Oyster Bay-born Bill Loeb, 51, insists that, the G.O.P. is riddled with Communists, in 1952 was one of the few of any party to endorse the late Bertie McCormick's proposal for a simon-pure "American Party." Spry, restless Loeb brags that the Union Leader will print any letter it receives, pointed out a recent...
...prestigious Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, came a reply: "Such attacks cause me no excitement or consternation. The decisions for Christ at Graham's meetings are not just an emotional experience. People who make decisions will be taken immediately into the care of the churches, and we very definitely expect to gather the fruits of the Billy Graham campaign by permanent organization, by teaching discipline. To commit your life to Christ, as these people will do, is to surrender to Christ, but the important growth follows after that. It is not the end but the beginning...
...travel records set by wandering Americans last year. Travel agents estimate that more than 2,000,000 U.S. citizens this year will leave North America, v. 1,850,000 last year, and that they will spend $2.14 billion v. $1.86 billion in 1956. On the Atlantic run, ship lines expect to carry more passengers than in 1956, when they loaded 1,004,000. Though five additional liners (total: 76) are plying the route, it was virtually impossible last week to book tourist space before August. Airlines flying the Atlantic expect to top last year's record 830,000 passengers...
What Can They Sell? Trade with the Red bloc is still a fraction of the non-Communist world's trade. Although French exports to China tripled from 1955 to 1956, they still totaled less than $23 million last year. Few expect a sudden spurt if the restrictions are lifted. British exports to China, worth $30 million last year (less than 1% of Britain's total exports), would probably double. Japanese exports to China, worth $24 million in this year's first quarter, have about reached the limit unless Peking can ship more and better coal and iron...
