...tried everything short of intervention to bring about a change in Haiti. It has cut off all aid, pulled out its ambassador, even sent a Navy task force to steam around outside the three-mile limit for a few weeks. But Duvalier remained unmoved, and in the meantime Haiti's economy went from bad to worse. On paper, per capita income is $70 a year, lowest in the hemisphere; the real figure may be as low as $15. Now, to alleviate at least a little of the misery, the dollars are flowing again: $2,360,000 in Inter-American...
Hoyle's theory also explains why galaxies in distant parts of the universe can, theoretically, move away from the earth faster than the speed of light-a limit that Einstein said could not be exceeded. Hoyle argues that it is wrong to compare the speed of light in one locality with the speed of an object in another locality. He believes that his theory makes it easier to explain in earthly terms events that occur in distant localities of the universe...
What Walter Wants. The Johnson Administration has asked labor leaders to limit their wage-and-benefit demands to 3.2%, but Reuther says he will fight for 4.9% or more because productivity is rising faster in autos than in some other industries.

And while such economizers as Virginia's Democratic Senator Harry Byrd, who wants to cut spending by $6.5 billion in fiscal 1965, are likely to have a lot more to say on the matter, the new limit is expected to breeze through Congress with less difficulty than in many a year...
This week Comsat will offer another 5,000,000 shares, also at $20, to the public. Because of brisk demand, brokers will limit purchases by individual customers to 50 shares or less, and then the shares will be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The public will elect six directors. But small shareholders seldom take the initiative to put up a slate; the public directors of Comsat Corp. will probably be nominated by the Government-appointed organizers of Comsat. It thus looks as if the commanding voices in the new space communications company will belong to President Johnson...
