...first Blough & Co. demanded a contract clause saying that 2-B would not "restrict the company from improving the efficiency and economy of its operations." Last month the industry eased this demand to a proposal to submit the 2-B issue to a two-man panel (one member chosen by the industry, one by the union) with compulsory arbitration if the panel failed to reach agreement by mid-1960. McDonald refused to consider even this diluted proposal...
...Said one member of the U.S. delegation: "You know, you sweat like hell, cable like hell, lobby like crazy in the corridors-and then it's finally all over and it doesn't mean a thing. This resolution was so meek it wouldn't have scared Louisa May Alcott. By abstaining we pleased the Arab bloc, and at the same time we didn't get De Gaulle sore.

Give Them Air. About the only thing that the M.P. can call his own is a single locker that is not even big enough to hold an ordinary briefcase. But a special loop of pink ribbon hangs beside the locker-dating from the days when Members were required to check their swords outside.

Fleet-footed Bart Crum grabbed headlines in 1953 by chasing Aly Khan around the world to win a $1,000,000 divorce settlement for his client Rita Hayworth. But his real forte...
...Australia's frozen-meat export trade. Delfino cleared this hurdle after conferences with the government, paid Auckland dock wallopers triple and quadruple wages to load coal, and then got steaming. Twenty-eight days and one hurricane later, he landed in San Diego, minus 107 cattle and one crew member who had died on the way. There he was greeted by the A.S.P.C.A., U.S. Bureau of Customs, and the Public Health Service. The Chinese crewmen were confined to ship, and they refused to unload the cattle from the boat, which by that time was two feet deep in month...
