Said Christie: "I gassed the three women whose bodies were found in the alcove by getting them to sit in a deck chair in the kitchen between the table and the door. There is a gas pipe on the wall next to the window that at one time had been used for a gas bracket. The pipe had been plugged. I took the plug out and pushed a piece of rubber tubing over the pipe. I put a chink in the tube with a bulldog clip to stop the gas escaping. When they sat in the deck chair with...
Cagily, Dr. Carter let the news out in a thin trickle so that Singer workers in particular, and South Bend's citizens in general, did not panic. He arranged to pipe city water to the Singer plant. This week every man jack among its woodworkers began submitting stool specimens for laboratory analysis: as many as 9,000 may be needed over a period of six months. Only then will it be known which workers are clear of amoebae. For the estimated 700 who will get positive reports, there will be immediate free treatment with fumagillin or terramycin. At full...
SALES of non-corrosive plastic pipe have boomed so fast (3,000% since 1948) that Republic Steel last week bought pipemaker Owings-Sharpe, Inc. of Magnolia, Ark.

In five months "Red" Blanchard, 33, has zoomed from a routine job as staff announcer at station KCBS to a position that his pressagents describe...
Eisenhower's beefed-up council will be operating within 60 days under Chairman Burns, but will need funds, probably $300,000 a year, to keep going. A former Columbia University economics professor, Arthur Frank Burns, 49, is a rumpled, pipe-smoking, registered Democrat, who voted for Eisenhower because "my thinking . . . ran pretty much like the thinking of the country." In economics, however, Burns's thoughts follow no particular school. He firmly believes that Government should stay out of the nation's economic affairs as much as possible, interfere only out of "hard necessity." Burns himself knows only...
