...renewed vigor, Ike pitched zestfully into the business of politics. To pleased Congressmen came an increasing number of invitations to stop by the White House for drinks and chats, or to ride with the President in his plane. To Capitol Hill came many a warm letter, thanking legislators for help, that was signed "D.E." Arizona's conservative Republican Senator Barry Goldwater, who alone in the Senate had voted against the relatively mild labor-reform bill sponsored by Massachusetts Democrat John Kennedy, was tickled pink when Ike confided: "If I'd been in the Senate, I'd have...
...what it was. Instead, he polled their views. A small group was for a harsh, unrelenting continuation of the war until Algeria could be integrated with France. At least three "liberals" urged independence for Algeria, even if it meant negotiating with the F.L.N. terrorists.

At week's end he released another report stating that the impact of the steel strike "has been severe and is expected to be felt increasingly in weeks to come." The number of jobless workers in steel-related industries has risen to about 125,000-60% in railroads and coal mining-and 75,000 of them have applied for unemployment aid. But there is not yet any shortage of steel for defense plants, and none looms in the near future. Foreign steelmakers...
Died. Carle Cotter Conway, 81, dynamic, debonair chairman (1930-50) of Continental Can, who in his long (1912-58) career broadened the use of can containers, steadily increased the number of his plants, boosted sales from $70 million in 1933 to $398 million in 1950, as a liberal-minded businessman headed and whipped into action the nine-man committee appointed to reorganize the Stock Exchange, saw his own recommendations embodied in the Exchange of today; in Lake Placid...
