...German Electoral Committee" would be nominated by the West and East German governments in a proportion, based on population, of 25 West Germans to ten East Germans. The committee would arrange increasing commercial exchanges-more trains, buses, mail, books, newspapers-culminating in adoption of a common currency. After a period of "at least three years," during which progress could be measured and trust justified, the committee would prepare legislation for free, all-German elections...
...sign some, ignored others. Tong II Han won a good half a dozen bookings right off. Singer Friedlander got a few nibbles ("They took all my brochures; I am told that this is a good sign"), and by last week Harpist Rensch had found a few bookings in the mail. For newcomers, Mrs. Clark's auditions may be the first real break (young Edgar Bergen did monologues for women's clubs before he got his first dummy), and for oldtimers, they may be the last one. In 1929 Mrs. Clark took in penniless Poet Edwin (The Man with...
From a Chicago hospital bed last week, cancer-stricken Sewell Lee Avery, 85, cut his final tie to Montgomery Ward & Co. as a new era of expansion began for the giant mail-order house.

Under pert Editor Gertrude Dieken, who was raised on an Iowa farm, the section has its own inside cover, draws up to 1,500 letters a month, most of them written as though to a close friend...
Twice Wisconsin's Senator William Proxmire had got a big play with his speeches attacking Johnson for highhandedness in making Democratic policy decisions, and the attacks had brought Proxmire more mail than anything else he had ever done. Oregon's Wayne Morse, traveling in Wisconsin, made the papers with a complaint that Johnson was a "Charlie McCarthy in a political ventriloquist act." Michigan's unemployment-harassed Pat McNamara, whose Senate achievements have hardly been worth a stick of type, squawked at Johnson for blocking liberal Democratic attempts to broaden unemployment compensation. Pennsylvania's Joe Clark dashed...
