...Baghdad shouted "Nasser, we are your soldiers," and the insurgents denounced Feisal as a "traitor," rebels announced formation of a fourteen-man cabinet headed by Brigadier General Kassem as Premier and including four other generals.

The biggest is Dayton's E. F. MacDonald Co., which last year had a hand in triggering the sale of $1 billion worth of merchandise. MacDonald urges firms to award varied prizes, usually merchandise on a point scale, thus give every salesman some incentive to better his work.
