...President Truman rode over to St. Louis from Independence this week to honor one of his favorite clergymen : Rabbi Samuel Thurman, 71, for 40 years in charge of St. Louis' United Hebrew Congregation. Rabbi Thurman, like Truman a 33rd degree Mason, had worked with him for many years in state Masonic activities; in 1949 he offered a prayer at Truman's inauguration, the second rabbi in history to participate in a presidential inaugural.- Others at the Jefferson Hotel's banquet table were the Very Rev. Paul C. Reinert, S.J., president of Roman Catholic St. Louis University...

Ahead of a Trend? With Ford, G.M. and Chrysler all fighting for a bigger share of the market, Automaker Mason has his work cut out for him. Nash, which made 135,394 cars in1953, has cut production 30%, and the company has had to cut itsdividend. Mason thinks that there is a trend to small cars, for city and suburban driving. If the Metropolitan catches on, he will be in a position to step up production rapidly. However, the car's handicap is its price. The Rambler Deluxe is only $100 more, and Ford and Chevrolet come within...
