Idle Gestures. The week's first roadblock loomed up when Johnson cast around for the two-thirds Senate vote needed to override the White House vetoes of 1) the bill to freeze farm price supports at 1957 levels and 2) the lard-heavy rivers-and-harbors authorization. He soon counted too many Republican noes. "I don't believe in idle gestures," said he, and gracefully helped the farm bill along to an agriculture committee that will probably let it mildew for the rest of the session.

...Honolulu. They gave it a topflight director (Joshua Logan) and a glittering cast. They gave it, on the theory that there can never be too much of a good thing, every last alarum and excursion of the play's somewhat too ployful plot, and then proceeded to lard it out with new business, a new song, even a whole new battle sequence, until the final version runs to the seat-flattening length of 2 hr. 51 min.-plus a 15-minute intermission.

Were it not for TV and radio, we would have to wait a week to learn anything about events other than who shot whom in what tavern...
PORK PRICES will be boosted by new Government buying program. Including current lard purchases, Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson will make $100 million available immediately to buy pork for school-lunch programs and other nonprofit uses. As result, pork prices, which had slipped below $15 per hundredweight for first time since March, spurted ahead last week to $15.50 per hundredweight...
