...White House put so much behind-the-scenes heat on wavering Republican Congressmen (who voted 2 to 1 for the bill) that baffled Tariff Lobbyist Oscar R. Strackbein, after betting a month before on a victory for the protectionists, glumly observed: "I have never seen such pressure since the days of Franklin Roosevelt." In the last days before the floor debate, Republicans trudged into Dick Simpson's office to ask him to release them from their promises to vote with him. A vote against reciprocal trade, one explained, would cost him White House support for a bill that...
...Stevenson backers who might begin to get that dizzy feeling, Gallup had some bad news: Vice President Richard Nixon's tour through Latin America (TIME, May 5, et seq.) boosted his political stock substantially, for the first time put him ahead of Democrat Stevenson in the "trial heat" popularity votes that Gallup kept on running between just about any possible pair of candidates from the two parties.

Swedish scientists, he told the House, have found that the "unnatural heat" caused by wearing trousers could effect up to 1,000 times more genetic damage to men than radiation. "They conclude." added Sassenach-bred Sandys, "by recommending the general adoption of the Scottish kilt...
...quizlings to Pick a Winner or try The Big Game, CBS dares viewers either to Sing Along or Keep Talking! Away from the panels and the quiz masters, there is little in prospect to excite viewers. ABC offers Bobby Troup's Stars of Jazz as relief from the heat. CBS will try its courtroom show, The Verdict Is Yours (TIME. May 19) as an hour evening program, in addition to Verdict's weekday afternoon half-hour run. NBC is scheduling two hour-long live shows, a private-eye staple called The Investigator and the converted Kraft (Mystery) Theater...
