...join the 3,500,000 already in sunny California. But the wildest enthusiasts underguessed the migrations to come. The chamber has since quit trying to swell the stream, settled down to work on problems-roads, water shortages, etc. -to be multiplied by still more millions of newcomers. In pride and awe, the chamber's California Population Study Committee reported last week on the migrant-swelled statistics (present est. pop. 14,400,000), again upped its forecasts of the near future...
...Pride Restored. The new Pope had already given dramatic evidence of this intention by his appointment last week of 23 new cardinals, expanding the college from its 372-year-old limit of 70 to a new strength of 75-with the prospect of still further expansion to come. Most significant result of the new appointments will be to strengthen the administrative machinery of the church-the Curia-which Pius XII, no man to delegate wide authority, had neglected during the last few years. The Curia now has 24 instead of 13 cardinals, and the overall Italian representation in the College...
...usual in Tati's pictures, there is really no plot. On the one side, Tati lines up the protagonists of the gadget: a manufacturer of plastics, whose pride and joy is the cubistic chateau in which he spatially participates with a severely functional, ever-scrubbing wife, a discontented son who is obviously a round peg in a square hole, and a free-form dachshund.

...wardrobe before journeying to Smith next July, perhaps holding a ceremonial bonfire for the professorial rags on Berkeley lawn. At any rate, publicity pictures passed out by the women's college show him in a neat suit, with matching vest. It is even possible that Yale's pride may come to rival that tennis-playing smoothie among women's college presidents, Harold Taylor of Sarah Lawrence. Mendenhall's favorite sport is rowing-he rowed at Oxford, watches Yale crew practice in all weather-but he has perfected a crushing game of croquet at Berkeley. Students there...
Turin's Valentino Exhibition Palace was ablaze with chrome and bright-painted metal. On view at Italy's oldest and biggest auto show were the pride and joy of the world's automakers: 64 models from twelve nations, including General Motors' opulent Cadillac, Czechoslovakia's tanklike Tatra, Britain's 150-m.p.h. Aston Martin racer. But the stars of the show were not the big, the swift or the beautiful. They were the small, neatly styled economy cars that spark the biggest boom Europe's automakers have ever known. This year the industry will...
