...great marble hall where he once bragged of beating U.S. meat and milk output, Nikita Khrushchev last week told Soviet leaders what every Moscow housewife knows.

Lithography, costly and slow, might never have advanced much beyond the stone age but for the curiosity of early experimenters, among them a Nutley, N.J., lithographer named Ira Rubel.

Wheat farmers would be told not only how much wheat they could grow, but how much they could market. Wheat and grain farmers would continue to get Government price supports so long as they stayed within their...
