...item was Shakespeare's dependable Julius Caesar, done for the third time in six years by CBS's Studio One. Quite a lot was wrong with this production: Brutus (Philip Bourneuf) was too short, Cassius (Shepperd Strudwick) too wholesome, Mark Antony (Alfred Ryder) too boyish. Yet for all its imbalance, it was entertaining. Producer Alex March, faced with the insuperable job of cramming the 2½-hour play into the allotted 54 minutes, used a single set, concentrated on closeups, and apparently aimed at the style of the recitative.

Plants that make products which have a civilian use should stand on their own feet, said he, and expand with the market, not under Government stimulus. Humphrey expects the Government to have a new program ready soon "on a proper basis...
...Item after item was killed, until only $222 million (or about one-eighth) was left in the bill that had originally appropriated $1,648,876,128. The members of the House sat happily watching the slaughter; general feeling was that it could hardly be happening to a more deserving guy than Cannon or a more deserving committee than Rules. Besides, the Representatives all knew that the Senate would restore the cuts...
