Some of the cries against foreign competition are louder than the pinch warrants. Only 52,600 men's suits were imported into the U.S. in 1960, v. some 20 million turned out by U.S. factories. Imports in 1960 of wool pants totaled 2.1 million v. 14.2 million made in the U.S. Moreover, from October 1958 to October 1960, the number of production workers employed in the U.S. coat and suit industry increased from 94,000 to 102,900 despite rising imports, and the workers' average weekly hours worked and total earnings increased as well.

If there were a "dependable ceasefire" in the area...
...Louder & Louder. While his blue-helmeted men stood bored guard duty on sweltering street corners and dusty village lanes. Dag Hammarskjold dickered endlessly with the Congo's erratic politicians. Encouraged by the mercurial remarks of Premier Patrice Lumumba as he wended his way home from the U.S., the Congo government became more and more insistent on the departure of Belgian troops from their bastion in Katanga...
