Last week, on the day of voting, Johnson was ready. With the approval of Minority Leader William Knowland, Johnson demanded that the Case charges be investigated by a special Senate committee-but not until after the gas-bill vote. "The Senate of the U.S. can ill afford to prostrate itself before phantoms," thundered Johnson. "This is no time for hesitation." The Senate did not hesitate; it followed its leaders and defeated all efforts to postpone a vote. After 10½ hours of maneuvering, the gas bill was passed and sent to the President by a vote of 53 (22 Democrats...

Sullivan was outscored in the Trendex rating by 26.8 to NBC's 30.1, the highest Trendex rating that any 90-minute NBC Spectacular had ever...
Into the rail station at Peoria, Ill. last week slithered the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad's answer to the annual $700 million deficit of U.S. passenger trains: the Jet Rocket, a light, low train modeled after the Spanish Talgo. Built by ACF Industries, Inc., it is the first of the new lightweight trains to be owned by a U.S. railroad. It begins regular Chicago-Peoria passenger runs this week...
