...could you sink so low in your June 10 issue to further the business profits of Los Angeles Art Dealer Martin Lowitz, a man using a lot of copycats who copy the works of another for profit and who obviously have no talent to create, or are lacking in ethical standards? FRANK O. HAMILTON Belvedere, Calif...
...Southerners managed to outflank Joe Martin only once. Determined to find a conservative Republican who would introduce the trial-by-jury amendment for them, they lighted on Illinois' Freshman Russell Watson Keeney of Wheaton. It was Keeney who sponsored an amendment guaranteeing jury trials in criminal (but not civil) contempt proceedings. But when, at the climax of the ten-day debate, the amendment came to a vote, Joe Martin coolly predicted that he would lose no more than 40 Republicans. He actually lost 39 on the 199-167 tally...
...Doby countered with a left hook somewhat more accurate than Ditmar's fast ball, and Ditmar dropped. Men from both sides piled in. Even with the Chicago cops to help them, the umpires took 28 minutes to put down the fight.

The new spending will trim the fiscal 1957 budget surplus to $1.2 billion instead of the predicted $1.7 billion. Next twelvemonth the Government may spend even more, possibly as much as $1.5 billion more than the estimated $71.8 billion budget. What all this means is that despite pleas from every quarter the U.S. cannot even consider a tax cut this...
