...many agencies have been developed just to import domestics from abroad. The largest, Manhattan's Domestic Service. Inc., began importing some 1.200 domestics a year in 1950. but in the last few years has become more selective and cut back to about 700 a year. Though the agency could get all the European girls it wanted, it searched out more experienced domestics who would be more likely to stay beyond the usual one-year contract. The family pays the girl's passage and related expenses (plus a fee to the agency), is paid back over ten months...
Last week, as the one-year deadline arrived, 143 judges and prosecutors quit; only 14 stubbornly refused. To remove even this remnant, the government still plans its constitutional amendment...
...bill. That meant that Republican help was required-and it was by no means certain to be forthcoming. Hardened against Kennedy, House Republicans had given him only one vote on his tax-revision bill, one vote on the defeated farm bill. Now Republican Noah Mason of Illinois, a ranking House protectionist, moved to send the trade bill back to the Ways and Means Committee with instructions to approve only a one-year extension of the obsolete Reciprocal Trade Act.

With $60,331 already in the bank, he was-and still is-a good bet to smash his alltime money-winning record of $75,262, set in 1960. Having won his third Masters title in April, he now had visions of a one-year "grand slam," winning all four of pro golf's major championships-Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and Professional Golfers' Association...
...one has ever won so many tournaments so early in the season: the record for victories in a single season is 19, and that was set by Byron Nelson in 1945, when many pros were away in service. No one has ever won so much money so early; when Palmer set the one-year record ($75,263) in 1960, he had picked up only $48,000 by the middle of May. In one furious, six-week stretch that culminated with his play-off victory over Johnny Pott last week in the Colonial National Invitational, Palmer won four tournaments. Said Pott...
