...Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia will sign a $28 million contract with a British consortium-Alderton Construction Co., Ltd. and Martin Cowley, Ltd.-to renovate the German-designed railroad. A team of 200 engineers, working from air-conditioned railway cars, will direct an army of Arab laborers as they rebuild 55 stations and 1,900 bridges and culverts, lay 750,000 ties and 23,000 tons of rails at a planned rate of one mile...
Streicher would have taken more drastic measures had he known what Ludwig Erhard was up to at the time: he turned out a lengthy analysis of steps to rebuild the German economy, based on the frank premise of Germany's total defeat.

After Goerdeler was arrested, he smuggled word about Erhard from his prison cell to friends outside...
That lesson will not be easy to teach.

He set out to build an industrial complex of his own, calling one of his two holding firms "Hugo Stinnes Personally Inc." to show his independence to the world. But Hugo depended too much on the memory...
Perhaps because of the site, the Sunday school killings in Birmingham brought forth in churches throughout the U.S. last week a great outpouring of wrath, sympathy-and hard-cash collections to help rebuild the bombed Baptist church. The reaction demonstrated what is best about religion's responsibilities toward mending the nation's racial division: white ministers and priests are everywhere waking up to the need to help Negroes through secular action -fund drives, picket lines, finding jobs, breaking down housing segregation. But at the same time, the hatred that brought on the bombing showed what clergymen confess...
