Overturning the unanimous recommendation of the U.S. Tariff Commission, President Eisenhower last week rejected a plea by the New England fishing industry that he raise the tariff on groundfish fillets (i.e., boneless cuts stripped from pollock, cod, haddock, other bottom fish) and thus protect beleaguered U.S. ground fishermen against further imports (now 128 million Ibs. -annually, three times higher than in 1945), chiefly from Canada, Iceland and Norway.

Again they converted, and that kick meant the difference...
Died. Jackson Pollock, 44, bearded shock trooper of modern painting, who spread his canvases on the floor, dribbled paint, sand and broken glass on them, smeared and scratched them, named them with numbers, and became one of the art world's hottest sellers by 1949; at the wheel of his convertible in a side-road crackup near East Hampton...
