...Mills, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and floor manager for the measure, to admit that he had "overlooked" a relatively small cost factor. No matter. Without amendment, the House passed the bill by a vote of 313 to 115, and at the announcement of the tally Democrats rose to their feet with a great shout. Speaker John McCormack rushed up to Mills, grabbed his hand and cried: "Congratulations, my dear friend. Magnificent...
...three-stage Douglas Delta rocket that rose above Cape Kennedy last week tossed its 85-lb. payload into a high elliptical orbit with neat precision. Early Bird, first satellite to be sent aloft by Comsat (Communications Satellite Corp.), climbed as high as 22,300 miles above the earth, then curved down as low as 776 miles. When this original orbit had been analyzed and Early Bird was at an apogee, a signal from the earth fired a small rocket motor to give just enough extra speed to put the satellite into a circular orbit that matched the earth...
...automakers) and in fabricated metals and machinery, which have accounted for four-fifths of the manufacturing employment gain in the past year. The weak sections are chiefly in industries affected by defense cuts: ordnance, aircraft, communications equipment, electrical components and shipbuilding. State and local government jobs are burgeoning (they rose by 315,000 in 1964 to 7,200,000), but federal employment has leveled off, partially as the result of a government economy drive. White-collar employment is continuing its fast growth, has now reached 44% of the labor force; there have been corresponding decreases in unskilled and semiskilled jobs...
...transports have proved to be flying cash registers-twice as fast and three times as profitable as the best piston-engine planes. So efficient are the jets that Boeing 707s, for instance, break even with passenger loads as low as 39% of capacity. The industry's load average rose to 55% last year, enough to return the eleven U.S. trunk carriers 11% on their $2.3 billion investment, the highest rate in 15 years. This has produced some speculation that the Civil Aeronautics Board may order fare cuts (it regards a 101% return as "fair and reasonable"), but the airlines...
...made Rivers respectable. To even the most apocalyptic, often reluctant, critics, he appears as the logical, stable span between Pollock, Kline and De Kooning and the newcomers who actually attach real beer cans to their paintings. His 155-work exhibition that opens this week at Brandeis University's Rose Art Museum,* proves that Rivers is exciting in his own right. Even the commonplace cliché of General George fording the Delaware looks good beside a giant representation of a Campbell soup can. The crucial difference is that Rivers, unlike the pop artists, does not leave his subject matter standing...
