...dreaded wage increase, they have cost the government an estimated $195 million a year, in increased subsidies and lost taxes, at a time when the government needs every franc it can lay hands on. In just over a year, excessive consumption of imported raw materials-aggravated by the post-Suez necessity of buying U.S. "dollar oil"-has cut French gold and foreign-exchange reserves from $1.7 billion to $934 million. Between the Algerian war (daily cost: about $3,000,000) and increased old-age pensions, this year's national budget shows a record $3.5 billion deficit...
Last week Italy's free enterprisers abruptly stopped quivering. In a move that surprised friends and foes alike, Segni gave the new Cabinet post to brawny, brawling Giuseppe Togni, 53-year-old founder-president of CIDA, the Italian business executive union. A onetime marble cutter who worked his way up to a top management job in Italy's vast Montecatini chemical company, Christian Democrat Togni is a vocal exponent of free enterprise.

...Rabbi Gershon Winer filed a $425,000 suit against the Bowman Biscuit Co. in Denver for getting him fired from his $13,000-a-year post at Denver's BMH Synagogue.

It received heavy play in the Montreal newspapers, particularly the evening Herald, which has been waging an indignant anti-hoodlum editorial campaign. Riggan, onetime Birmingham Post-Herald reporter who has been a TIME correspondent in Canada since 1953, was troubled less by his injuries (which were minor) than by regret that he had not made it a better story. "What rankles most," he joked, "is reading the accurate reports that 'Riggan's yells' frightened off the thugs...
...Give light," proclaim the mastheads of all 19 Scripps-Howard newspapers, "and the people will find their own way." By generating heat as well, Scripps-Howard's El Paso Herald-Post (circ. 39,794) has long made its way as one of the chain's most profitable and independent-minded dailies. Under Editor Ed Pooley, a Tabasco-tempered maverick who has run the paper for 20 of his 59 years, the Herald has earned Texas-wide renown as an ardent defender of underdogs, whom Pooley, in deference to the border city's heavy Spanish-speaking population, invariably...
