Trimble finally got permission to work on his own time going over congressional payrolls. His efforts began paying off Jan. 5, when the 19-paper Scripps-Howard chain broke his detailed story charging that "at least one of every five lawmakers has some kinfolk on his staff...
Though everyone involved, each for his own reasons, tried to play it down, the steady, almost stealthy, exodus of 17,000 Jews from Communist Rumania to Israel in the past six months (TIME, Jan. 26) was bound to attract the notice of the Arab world. This week the largely ineffectual Arab League is scheduling a protest meeting; Nasser's Cairo and Damascus radios agonized day and night over "the new Zionist plot aided by the imperialists to bring in 3,000,000 Eastern European Jews" to "occupied Palestine...
Reformer Quadros, nominally a member of the Brazilian Labor Party but actually a political loner, built a hound's tooth record as Sao Paulo's Governor in a term that ended Jan. 31.

The chicken houses are so thoroughly automated that one farmer can look after two houses, each containing 18,000 chickens. The feeding is entirely automatic...
...problem is that the picture, like the Broadway play (TIME, Jan. 11, 1954) it is adapted from, is trying to make people laugh at a situation that is not really funny at all. Still, for an hour or so Actor Webb manages to keep the customers with him as he conducts his sly and skillful retreat to respectability; but after that, somehow the joke begins to get tired. Even vicariously, bigamy appears to be exhausting...
