Some of the ablest pamphleteering on full employment has come from the National Planning Association. Hitherto the most publicized pamphlet emanated from N.P.A.'s Business Committee,* but this week its Labor Committee was heard from. Fiscal Policy for Full Employment, written by Dr. John H. G. Pierson of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows how in general the views of such laborites as Clinton S. Golden (United Steelworkers), Marion H. Hedges (Electrical Workers), James Carey (C.I.O.), David Kaplan (Teamsters), George Meany (A.F. of L.), Walter Reuther (Automobile Workers), et al., compare with those of such managers as Beardsley Ruml...
Like "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay," "Roughly Speaking" is a record of personal history. Louise Randall Pierson's book told of a harsh tilt with life, beginning in Boston during the days when woman stonoga were looked upon askance, continuing through one unsuccessful marriage with the entrance of four children, and ending on the nana of a second world war to the tune of a second venture in matrimony.

Beyond the Horizon. This sweeping scheme was outlined by Raytheon's engineer Joseph Pierson as he applied for three microwave bands, at 1,900 megacycles and above. Said Pierson: if it gets these allocations, Raytheon will start work at once on the eastern (Boston, New York, Washington) and West Coast terminals of the microwave system. Raytheon plans to build a string of stations on western mountain tops, from Mt. Adams, Washington, to Mt. Whitney, California. Eventually the east and west terminals will be connected by chains of relay transmitters at about 30-mile intervals across the country...
...with a pleasant bit of comedy about peddling vacuum cleaners; began to recoup tidily in & about the New York World's Fair; and invincibly began discussing their next move-back-to-the-land-after they saw their sons off to war. The theme of the film, as Harold Pierson states it, appears to be that this is a country where you don't get shot for dreaming...
