...other major union meetings last week, the nation's mine workers (680,000 members) and railwaymen (370,000) took the same position. And over the BBC a somewhat chastened Frank Cousins made a promise of his own: should the Labor Party Conference next fall reject his view, he would go along with Gaitskell, who still seemed to be very much in control...

It tries to keep down its subsidy ($60 million this year) by selling commercials in a gentlemanly, low-pressure way. With its money, the CBC turns out a satisfactory and varied diet of Canadian-produced live and film programs, plus an occasional spectacular piped in from the U.S. The network's dilemmas are 1) how to be above politics when the government is paying the bills, and 2) how to apportion program production costs between the government...
