McCarthy was a hero of sorts when he got back home to Providence. At the station was a happy welcoming crowd of Republicans. Then he looked again. There was also a second welcoming committee made up of steelworkers carrying Democratic placards condemning Unionman McCarthy for his Republican stand. Ikeman McCarthy followed through, stumped for Ike for five weeks. After the election he settled down once again to his job as an electric-furnace-control man in the Dart Union Co. pipefitting factory, cherished a personal note of thanks from the President of the U.S., laughed off continued razzing from fellow...
...rushing Turkey's democracy backward so quickly. Democracy came to modern Turkey during the long, enlightened dictatorship of Kemal Ataturk (1923-38); his chosen successor, Ismet Inonu, was beaten at the polls in 1950, and obeying the popular mandate, turned over power to the Democrats. Last week Republican Inonu, a frail but forthright 72, waved Turkey's bill of rights before the assembly and charged that the Menderes government had trampled on freedom, suppressed the press, corrupted the courts and undermined justice. And with evident regret Fuat Koprulu, once Menderes' Foreign Minister, abruptly resigned from the Democratic...
...reliable, respectable Republican Herald Tribune, longtime morning rival of the good, grey and sometimes Democratic New York Times (circ. 623,000), Publisher Reid, then 29, confidently prescribed such bitter potions as brassy circulation-building contests and a mint-green third news section.

...took over the old Tribune in 1872, the Reid family decided to reorganize its closed corporation as a Delaware stock company in order to bring in outside capital, lined up several potential investors. To London last week went Publisher Reid and Pressagent McCrary, for brass-tack talks with multimillionaire Republican John Hay ("Jock") Whitney, U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's and lifelong friend of McCrary, who had already expressed interest in helping the paper (with a rumored transfusion of $2,000,000). To keep a sober eye on editorial policy under Editor-Publisher Reid, the paper...
Wearing the hard hat and leather belt of a lineman, Wyoming's Republican Senator Frank A. Barrett stepped up to a control panel in Casper, Wyo. last week. There he threw a switch inaugurating the biggest power transmission project in the history of his state, a 251-mile-long line linking Casper with Billings, Mont. At Billings the $7,200,000 line of the Pacific Power & Light Co. hooks into the big Pacific Northwest power pool. Next year the line will be extended from Casper to nearby Glenrock, Wyo., to link up a $23 million steam electric plant which...
