Management offered no concessions, not even a pledge that if the union held the line on wages the companies would hold the line on steel prices. The letter set forth that the Steelworkers have no ground for higher wages, no need to "catch up," because their wages have risen more than those of nearly all other industrial groups in recent years. Steel wages are now 38% above the average for all manufacturing, compared to 20% above in 1953; they average $3.03 an hour v. $2.19 for manufacturing workers generally. Well aware that steel profits will be fat, the steelmakers tried...

Its industry has grown; new buildings have sprouted in the major cities; and the living standard of its people has risen. But the figures Franco cites to demonstrate Spain's progress are comparisons with 1940 when the country still lay in the wreckage created by the Civil War.

Fifth Place. Rambler has done so well that it is in fifth place in U.S. auto sales (after Chevrolet, Ford, Oldsmobile and Pontiac); its share of the market has risen from 1.6% to 6.2% in two years. This week it made its 20th successive increase in production in 1½ years. Yet the public is still ordering Ramblers faster than American can produce them. Romney is in the midst of a $10 million expansion program that will lift the company's capacity to 440,000 cars a year...
