...more backyards for Manry. The Plain Dealer, which was scooped two weeks ago by the rival Cleveland Press about Manry's progress (TIME, Aug. 20), sent a bevy of reporters to serve as his escort. Autograph seekers stopped him on the street. Offers for books and magazine pieces have begun pouring in. Cleveland plans a hero's welcome when he returns home next week, and Ohio's Republican Congressman William Minshall has proposed that Tinkerbelle be placed in the Smithsonian Institution alongside Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis...
...United Malay Nationalist Organization. Stumped Kampongs. Noisiest of the Malay "ultras" who demanded harsh measures against the Chinese was the secretary-general of the Tunku's U.M.N.O., Jaafar Albar, who stumped the rural kampongs (villages), soon had crowds shouting, "Crush Lee!", and was emerging as a rival of the Tunku himself.

The hand naturally picks up the package of Gillette after brushing the others aside, but the very appearance of rivals is a departure from tradition. Such direct identification of competition has long been a rarity, and advertisers have gone to almost any length to avoid it. Now a steadily growing number are coming right out and naming names, thus bringing on bad times for Brand...
...predict that it will grab at least 10% by 1975, chiefly at the expense of coal's present 47% . Gas's share could grow twice that fast-to 20%-if it is priced low enough. Up to now gas prices have been kept close to those of rival fuels, partly because coal and oil companies own major interests in many gas-distribution combines and partly because so many governments are committed to subsidizing inefficient coal production...
