...Williams, was "mythical." At about the same time last week, Pete Williams & Co. got some studied support for their argument: a staff report from the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation flatly predicted that the Eisenhower Administration's hopes for a balanced budget are doomed to red-ink disappointment. Federal income in 1960, said the report, will come to $75.8 billion instead of the $77.1 billion predicted in the President's 1960 budget. If so, a deficit of at least $1.2 billion is inescapable even if Congress votes not a nickel more for outgo than...
Munakata does not always maintain the virtuoso standards of this religious series. Lapses occur when he adds colored ink to the black and white woodcut. Munakata, it seems, is not in any way as gifted a colorist as he is a draftsman. His heavy, almost garish, coloring emphasizes how far he has turned from the nice distinctions of tone and shade in eighteenth and nineteenth century Japanese prints. This very simple style, more Western than Oriental, mainly produces naive results; the childish, pseudo-folk art atmosphere of Stones in Water and Hawk Woman is most disturbing. However, the best color...
...million veterans' trust fund, set up in 1946. Even if he can find a way to get at the trust fund, Soapy will still have to push for tax increases to keep the state solvent.

...clock one afternoon last week, Ernest Joiner, 47, editor of the weekly Ralls, Texas Banner (circ. 1,175), planted a cigar beneath his mustache, wrapped a grimy printer's apron about his waist and flipped the switch on the old flatbed press. As the first ink-wet copies of the Banner began to roll, it seemed much like the press run of any of thousands of other small-town U.S. papers. It wasn't. If last week's edition ran true to form, Editor Joiner's own column in the Banner would be excerpted or reprinted...
Black Line Payoff. At lift-off Dr. Debus looked through the window, studying the quality of the roaring flame. His experienced eye told him that ignition had been perfect. He strolled to the instrumentation room, where a moving pen was tracing a black ink line on a flowing chart. If the black line, which represented the rocket's trajectory, stayed sufficiently close to a blue line representing the planned course, all would be well. He watched for a minute or so. Then his saber-scarred face smiled gently. "It looks good," he said. Pioneer...
