Last week the court gave its answer: "We find no instance in which the com mission [violated] the governing statute" -which gives it "broad discretion" to approve whatever projects it judges best suited to the nation's needs. Before exer cising this discretion, said the court, the FPC gave "mature consideration" to both plans and concluded-on the basis of the evidence-that each was "equally comprehensive." Weighing in favor of the private project was the fact that Congress has consistently refused to authorize a federal dam. Hence, the FPC "chose between a $400 million plan, which nobody...
...Last week they pricked up their ears when a departing diplomat reversed the process. A successful U.S. businessman for 40 years (metal factory, condensed milk, the Ask Mr. Foster travel agency), grey-haired Francis E. Rogers of New York City went to Britain in 1951 with an American aid mission to spend five years observing British factories.

Then, two weeks ago, the party formally expelled Shida for "indulging in individualism," adding cryptically: "He abandoned his entrusted mission." Last week the Communist magazine Shinso (Truth) claimed to have discovered the "real facts" about Shida. According to Shinso, all the time Shida had supposedly been performing dark deeds of underground violence, he had really been spending the party's money "merrymaking with geisha girls," in the disguise of "Mr. P., a company owner." Shida had bought himself expensive clothes, donned black-rimmed glasses, grown a big mustache. Sometimes for three nights running he would drink four...
