...first big step on the road to the depths of deg-re-day-I say first-medicinal wine from a teaspoon, then-beer from a bottle! And the next thing you know, your son is playin' fer money in a pinchback suit. And list'nin' to some big out-a-town Jasper hearin' him tell about horse-race gamblin'. Not a wholesome trot tin' race.

Case had approved of the plan to merge Glen Alden with List Industries, successor to RKO Theaters Corp. and owner of 38½% of Glen Alden stock. But last week the Pennsylvania Supreme Court enjoined the plan because some stockholders objected...
...Soviet world. But the U.S. was fighting a losing battle. Last week, in a policy switch, Secretary of State Dulles confirmed that Western controls on Red trade will be eased "appreciably." Within a month, about 80 items are expected to be lifted from the 200-plus-item strategic-embargo list, including some chemicals and machine tools, nearly all raw materials, electronic equipment, trucks, cars, ships and perhaps older planes, such...
