...home the point, no fewer than 20 new factories are to be officially opened. Heading the list is a $2,000,000 General Electric plant to make circuit breakers; other factories will produce such goods as coils, rubber buckets, screen wire, photolithography, saber saws, frozen foods, billfolds, brassières. The openings will bring to 400 the total of plants drawn to Puerto Rico by its famed Operation Bootstrap...
...Vienna never cares much for premières of new music. The new composition on the Vienna Symphony concert program one night last week was included not as a première, but as a novelty. It was Piano Concerto No. 1 by Los Angeles' young (32) Benjamin Lees, neatly played by Alexander Jenner and the Konzerthaus audience liked it better than anything else on the program.

Egypt bathed in jubilation over Premier Nasser's arms deal with the Communists.

Sometimes the soldiers did fire, at first high in the air, then point-blank to kill. "I brought down...
Dull the Shine. Often Du Pont does not even have time to make finished drawings, but has the bolts of cloth he orders cut and sewn from work sketches. He has two days to gather material, suits, dresses, underwear, stockings, shoes, brassières, furs and jewelry for everybody in the show from principals to walk-ons. It is the last-minute scramble that is most harrowing. Every man and woman in the show gets one fitting only. Next to the last day, they are fitted at the rate of one every 20 minutes. If anything is wrong, there...
