...Blunted Hatchet. To the Ways and Means Committeemen, Witness Weeks pointed out that the U.S. sells abroad 9% of all the movable goods it produces, that U.S. exports in 1957 added up to $19.5 billion, a sum greater than the domestic sales of the entire U.S. automobile industry. Added Agriculture. Secretary Ezra Taft Benson: in 1957 the U.S. exported $4.7 billion worth of farm products, about one-tenth of the total output. In order to protect the nation's vast and vital export trade, argued Weeks and other Administration witnesses, the U.S. must import goods so that foreign countries...
...this made no detectable dent in the iron-clad convictions of the House's high-tariff camp, led by Pennsylvania's husky Republican Representative Richard M. Simpson. Tariffanatic Simpson is bent on pushing through an amendment that would, in effect, leave tariff power under Congressional control, hatchet the President's power to overrule Tariff Commission recommendations for "escape clause" tariff increases-a power that Ike has used to scotch 14 of the 23 increases the commission has recommended during his five years in office...

He was also a successful Kentucky horse breeder (in 1955 his Prince John won a record-breaking purse of $157,918.50 at New Jersey's Garden State Park). Semiretired, at 57, he decided this year that he would like to serve in a Government post. "I just wanted to do some good," he explained last week. "I didn...
...much he had contributed to the Republican Party in 1956. Gluck admitted to "$20,000 or $30,000." (The record shows $26,500.) Then Fulbright asked how much Gluck contributed in 1952, and Gluck said "around $10,000." By then, even a nearsighted Bald Iggle would have spotted the hatchet in Fulbright's hand, but not ingenuous Max Gluck. He blundered on, trying to give honest and accurate answers as Fulbright whacked away. Gluck did not recall the United Nations report blaming Russia for smashing Hungarian independence, or that Ceylon was one of the five signing nations. Afterwards...
