...silver-mining stocks. Whether this upward trend continues will determine how the battle lines will be drawn when Kennedy formally asks for legislation to discontinue silver as currency backing in the next session of Congress. If prices soar much higher, industrial silver users will surely put up a howl. But if the price should drop because of increased foreign production, silver-state Congressmen can be counted upon to make a fight against freeing the entire silver reserve...
...Francisco (where else?), the San Franciso Chronicle ran an amusing story under the headline "Miller Book Isn't Smut, Cop Says." Some years ago, Captain William Hanrahan was severely criticized for his hasty action in impounding some copies of poet Alan Ginzberg's beat epic, "Howl." Now, according to the story, Hanrahan is a sadder and a wiser cop.

...nonsensical, hack-chop-you're-dead fairy story, cartooned in Japan and dubbed in the U.S. It is not as well drawn as the cartoons Walt Disney used to do, but Disney has neglected the field for live films and amusement-park management, and six-year-olds should howl happily at the replacement. The hero is an emetic little monkey (U.S. adapters thoughtfully assigned Crooner Frankie Avalon to provide his voice) who sets "out to conquer the world. Along the way he collects some traveling companions, including a prince, an excellent pig (voice drolly done by Comic Jonathan Winters...
