...reverse the policy of farm government-by-handout, Benson was blamed when the agricultural recession continued. By this year, when the farm economy dramatically improved (TIME, May 12), it was too late for Ezra Benson to regain lost personal ground. "The farmers just don't like Benson," said Iowa's Republican Representative Ben Jensen, himself a winner by only 2,200 votes. "They got mad at him a couple of years ago, and they stayed...
Almost to a man, Democratic winners in the Midwest campaigned harder against Benson personally than against his policies. "I got up to 5-to-1 majorities in normally Republican rural areas," said Iowa's lone Incumbent Democratic Representative Merwin Coad, who increased his 1956 plurality of 198 to 16,000 last week. Yet, while attacking Benson, Coad, like a remarkable number of other Midwestern Democratic winners, is far from committed to an all-out reversal of Benson's policies. "I see a moderate reversal of the direction Benson was going in," said Coad. "By moderate reversal, I mean...
...outside St. Paul and Minneapolis, Catholic Eugene McCarthy beat Republican Senator Edward Thye, a Lutheran (with a Catholic wife), by 57,000 votes.

While the principles of electrical-discharge machining are not new, many of the developments of Elox are. The company was founded during World War II, but was doing badly until John S. Larkins, 40, an Iowa State graduate engineer, took over. He had become interested after he purchased one of the machines for a business he was running, began buying the company patents with $5,000 in 1950. At the time, Elox machines were being used only to salvage engine blocks, and similar parts. The process was too crude to be used in other machine work, so Larkins worked...
