Soaring sales and earnings usually inspire businessmen to spend more money promoting their products. Since business is at its best in many years, the spenders are breaking all records. Advertising expenditures in 1963 rose 6% to reach $13.1 billion-the first jump beyond $13 billion. Advertising Age, the journal of the ad world, announced last week that the 100 leading national advertisers alone spent a record $3.17 billion on ads and sales promotion, up 10.5% from the previous year. Procter & Gamble, the nation's largest soapmaker, pulled ahead of General Motors to become the No. 1 U.S. advertiser...

Last week the Commerce Department announced that private U.S. investment abroad-investments in plant and equipment, bank credits, stocks and bonds -rose by $6.3 billion in 1963 to a record $66.4 billion. Already this year, the foreign investment stake of U.S. industry has risen beyond $68 billion, and Commerce predicts that the "vigorous growth rate will continue for some time ahead...
...White Rose. Most touching and unsung of all were the children and youths who resisted the Nazis. Helmut Huebener, 17, was guillotined for writing some 20 pamphlets denouncing the Nazi destruction of Warsaw and Rotterdam. Hans and Sophie Scholl, a handsome brother and sister who seemed outwardly to be the outdoor-loving prototypes of Hitler youth, organized an underground at the University of Munich. Under the romantic name of the White Rose, they authored pamphlets eloquently attacking the regime. After one particular Nazi outrage, they openly distributed the leaflets around the university, even scattered them from rooftops in the vain...
