...Walter Philip Reuther, 49, the redheaded boss of the 1,500,000 United Automobile Workers and vice president of the 15-million-man A.F.L.-C.I.O., remained utterly aloof from the tawdry discourse about Jimmy Hoffa and Johnny Dio going on in Washington. Instead, the U.A.W.'s Reuther chose to initiate a new public debate, not about labor corruption, but about economics. Aware of public concern about inflation, Reuther astutely proposed that the big three automobile makers cut prices on 1958 models by $100 or more below 1957 prices, whereupon his union would give "full consideration" to lower company earnings...
...White House early in the week came samples of messages from 21 prominent civil rights men, e.g., U.N. Official Ralph Bunche, retired Baseball Star Jack Robinson and A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, urging the Administration to stand pat for a strong bill. From such leading Negro newspapers as the Norfolk Journal and Guide and New York's Amsterdam News came outspoken criticism of the N.A.A.C.P. leaders who had agreed to the weak bill.

While an aroused codger made news by bopping a detractor of the Queen (see FOREIGN NEWS) because, he said, Prince Philip was in no position to thrash the bounder himself, the prince collected a few headlines on his own. At Arundel Castle in Sussex, he captained a cricket team during a charity match, let a hot liner bounce off his chest for what the Americans would call an error, saw his players fight to a draw with the Duke of Norfolk's team. At Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, he raised eyebrows by having a drink with...
Power Plant. "Tubby" Clayton did not agree. The Rev. Philip B. Clayton, vicar of All Hallows, chaplain to George VI and to Elizabeth II, is a 71-year-old dynamo with a high-voltage output of devotion, human ingenuity and charm. A World War I chaplain, founder of the British religious organization called Toc H, the organizer of the Winant Volunteers- a U.S. group of college-age boys and girls who pay their way each year to work among the poor in London's slums-Padre Clayton knew how to get what he wanted. He first established squatter...
