...flights, on some domestic nights since 1949. But some Congressmen have long urged aerial prohibition, and last year the airlines headed off possible action by limiting passengers to two 1.6-oz. drinks on domestic flights. Even that is not enough for South Carolina's Senator Strom Thurmond and Oregon's Senator Richard L. Neuberger, both teetotalers. Last week, in two bills, they called for prohibition on both domestic and foreign nights...
...their way clear to voting against a weak bill, and civil rights finally whisked through the Senate by a vote of 72 to 18 (voting yes were 43 Republicans and 29 Democrats, including Florida Democrat George Smathers; voting no were 17 Southerners plus anti-anti-Democrat Wayne Morse of Oregon).

Many members of Congress would rather ignore the porcupine than vote for any such new program. But even farmers have come to realize that the present setup cannot last.

The Oregon Journal (181,210), which doggedly argued that there was more sham than slam to its competitor's exclusives, last week found much to savor when a jury acquitted Teamster Organizer Clyde Cardinal Crosby on charges of conspiracy to accept a bribe. Reason: Crosby had been charged with racketeering by Gambler Jim Elkins, who also led Oregonian...
