While the two Presidents discussed affairs of state, Jackie raced through her favorite city in the firm tow of the grandmotherly Mme. de Gaulle. Trailing behind her black bubbletop Citroen were her mother-in-law, Rose Kennedy, her sister, Princess Radziwill, Sister-in-Law Eunice Shriver, and a bevy of lesser ladies in waiting. At the Jeu de Paume Museum, French Minister for Culture André Malraux whisked her past the collection of impressionist paintings in a breakneck 45 minutes. "I have just seen the most beautiful paintings in the world," gasped Jackie as she returned to the rain-splashed street...
...against the cold, rain and city smoke. In January 1959 workmen began laying the foundation stones, at first without mortar, to test their fit to the new site. After corrections for the contours of the old site and for the distortions caused by centuries of settling, the walls slowly rose, set this time in a thin layer of mortar. When they reached the high narrow windows, everything fitted perfectly...
Died. Owen Bernard ("Bert") Brennan, 57, rough, tough-talking Teamster Union vice president since 1957, mentor and close friend of Jimmy Hoffa ("the greatest little bastard who ever put a pair of shoes on"); of cancer; in Detroit.

Already jobs are multiplying faster than they did early in the recovery from the 1958 recession. The Labor Department last week reported that between mid-April and mid-May, employment rose 1,044,000 and unemployment fell 194.000. Most of the new jobs simply reflect the normal spring surge in hirings. But five major industrial centers lost their unhappy rating as areas with substantial (6% or more) unemployment, leaving 96 on the list. And in April, for the first time in a year. U.S. factories hired more men than were laid off or quit...
...overall business inventories (including retail inventories) were being cut at an annual rate of $4.5 billion. Estimates for the second quarter indicate that the annual rate of inventory reduction may have been cut to $1 billion or even less. After a seven-month decline, manufacturers' inventories rose about $100 million in April-a sign that inventories now react more quickly than before to changes in the economic climate. In past recessions, an upturn in manufacturers' inventories has usually lagged five or more months (see chart) behind an upturn in industrial production; this time the lag was only...
