...House Democratic leaders received the tax proposal sent up by President Eisenhower (TIME, June 2). With the recession apparently bottoming out and Budget Director Maurice Stans promising a deep-red budget, the President had adopted Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson's tough-minded case for standing pat on taxes (see box, next page). All that Ike asked Congress to do was extend for another year, at present rates, the corporation and excise taxes now scheduled to shrink back to pre-Korea size on July...
...thing a pressagent cannot provide is a bachelor of science degree, magna cum laude, from Columbia University. This week Columbia's School of General Studies gave one to Pat Boone, boy singer (at 24, a whopping 20 million records claimed for him by Dot Records). Bland, brown-haired Pat has confounded the swamp dwellers of the music world because he leads a blameless home life, and he has delighted parents of teen-agers because, although he sometimes sings rock 'n' roll, he sings it in a damply pleasant voice and does not keep time with pelvic spasms...
There was, as a matter of fact, just this much more: Indiana's young (29), clean-jawed Pat O'Connor rode right up the stern of another racer, could not keep his Sumar Special from flipping over.

The New York Times, playing the Polish thesis hard, even reported-but without offering supporting evidence-that Mao Tse-tung had sided against Khrushchev. But highest-level foreign policymakers in Washington, after weighing all the available but fragmentary reports, have now come to the conclusion that what is going on is not a struggle between individuals fighting...
With a wave of a symbolic radioactive wand. Pat Nixon last week sponsored the keel-laying of the world's first atomic merchantman-and gave the U.S. another leg up in the race to develop peaceful uses for nuclear power. To be built by New York Shipbuilding Corp. at Camden, N.J., N.S. Savannah will cost $40 million by the time it is completed in 1960. will serve as the model for private shippers who are increasingly anxious to get into the field. Cities Service. Gulf Oil and Standard Oil (N.J.) are all interested, and the Maritime Administration hopes...
