...Charles L. Schultze, 43, will return to academic life after finishing work on next year's administrative budget of an expected $145 to $150 billion. Inevitably, Washington seers concluded that his resignation, on the heels of Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Ackley's appointment as ambassador to Rome, was intended to appease House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Wilbur Mills and thus help to resuscitate the Administration's tax rise...
...Watteau or Fragonard. Their names tumbled out of Burke 's Peerage, the Almanack de Gotha and the Social Register. From London, there was the Maharajah and Maharani of Jaipur, Lady Astor, and the young dandy Lord Lichfield; from Madrid, Count and Countess de Romanones-Quintanilla, and from Rome, Donna Allegra Caracciolo.

Before they let him return, the hard-liners want...
Died. Amerigo Dumini, 74, Italian Fascist gangster and organizer of the 1924 murder of a Socialist deputy that almost toppled Mussolini's young regime; in Rome. Soon after accusing Il Duce's government of corruption, Deputy Giacomo Matteotti was kidnaped and beaten to death. The killing produced such a violent public outcry that Dumini was finally arrested and convicted, but let off with a few months' sentence-which grew to 30 years when he was retried, for murder...
