...bull market last week briefly surged above the historic 678.10 closing high of Aug. 3. But it could not hold the gain, slipped to end the week at 670.69 in the Dow-Jones industrial average. Even with a drop in trading, the 1959 volume was certain to be the heaviest since 1929. Totting up the commissions on the trading, brokers happily paid out the fattest year-end bonuses in many a season. At Paine Webber, the extra checks averaged nearly six weeks' pay; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith reported that its oldest employees were getting better than eight weeks...
...well be top gun. The TV tally sheet already lists 62 shows (network and syndicated) devoted to some variation of Cops & Robbers. Police detectives practice their profession on the networks only a few hours a week; it is the civilian shamus who lays down by far the heaviest barrage. At least 15 of the Private Eyes now visible have survived other seasons; the four newcomers-Staccato, Philip Marlowe, Bourbon Street Beat, Hawaiian Eye-came on behind a resounding drum roll of publicity.

Biggest share of the spending is for Chrysler's new economy car, the Valiant, heaviest (about 2,700 lbs.) and most powerful (100 h.p.) of the Big Three's compact cars. Styled with a sports-car slope, the Valiant seats six, gets 30 miles per gallon, has a top speed of 100 m.p.h. Among its features: a new six-cylinder engine mounted...
Mauled by the heaviest labor-lobby attack since the 1947 "slave labor" campaign against Taft-Hartley, the 30-man House Committee on Education and Labor last week approved a labor-reform bill that was even milder than the Kennedy-Ervin bill sent over from the Senate more than three months ago. G.O.P. Leader Charlie Halleck, coming from a White House conference, called the bill "a diluted version of a watered-down bill," thus fired the opening shot in the battle to force the Democratic majority in Congress to pass a strong bill or take the blame for none...
