Labor was in a swivet over Old Fair Dealer DiSalle's hard-hitting state labor-racketeering bill. The measure, now before the Democratic legislature, provides fines and imprisonment for labor leaders who 1) charter paper locals, 2) use union funds for personal profit, 3) buy stock in corporations with which they bargain collectively-or have bargained with over a three-year period, 4) accept gifts from companies with which they have bargained. Under the same bargaining terms, it also sets up a maximum of a $1,000 fine and a year's imprisonment for any union member...
...Naval Research Laboratory fitted an Aerobee-Hi research rocket with a special camera. Fired from the White Sands missile range in New Mexico, the rocket soared through the atmosphere; 123 miles up, the camera began clicking. The camera was fitted with a mirror ruled with a grating of fine lines, 15,000 to the inch, designed to filter out the sun's glaring visible light, which otherwise would have overwhelmed the Lyman-alpha rays given off by the clouds. To keep the camera stabilized in the nose of the yawing rocket, University of Colorado physicists had devised a highly...
Ebright started early and stayed late. At the crew-conscious University of Washington (class of 1917), he was a fine coxswain under the great Hiram Conibear, father of West Coast rowing, and developer of the upright stroke with short layback that became the trademark of West Coast crews, differentiating them from Eastern oarsmen, who took their style from the British. California picked Ebright in 1924 to raise the Golden Bears to Washington's lofty level. Results came quickly. In 1927, 1928 and 1929, California crews, newly tutored in the Conibear stroke by Ebright, left mighty Washington trailing in their...
...after-tax profits showed a $3 billion jump from the third quarter; undistributed profits, or the money companies still have after taxes, dividends, etc., were up to $9.8 billion, the highest level since the first quarter of boom year 1957. The high profit level, plus the assurance of a fine first-quarter report for 1959, gives U.S. industry plenty of money in the bank to keep the recovery rolling. Many a corporation will be able to dust off the expansion plans shelved during the recession, and once the spending starts, the floodgates are liable to open for another big round...
...northwestern Pacific fishing waters, Japanese boats are ranging far into the mid-Pacific to intercept the salmon as they head for Alaska spawning grounds, trap tens of millions before they can reproduce. Up to 20% of Bristol Bay red salmon runs in 1957 bore the telltale scars of long, fine-meshed Japanese gill nets, which can be strung to form a solid, ten-mile barrier across the ocean. By using these nets, say U.S. fishermen, the Japanese kill many immature, Alaska-born salmon and violate the intent of a 1953 treaty designed to prevent the Japanese from fishing for native...
