Somebody Up There Likes Me (MGM) is the sort of Lower Depths that Maxim Gorky might have written had he been born a 20th century American and learned philosophy from Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Based on the "autobiography" of ex-Middleweight Champion Rocky Graziano (as ghosted by Sportswriter Rowland Barber), the film begins and ends with a treacly title song ("Yes! Somebody up there likes me; Whatever betide me. he'll comfort and guide me, And stand beside me right or wrong . . .") throbbingly delivered by Singer Perry Como...
...Raymond Edgar Rowland, 53, was elected president of Ralston Purina Co., succeeding Donald Danforth, who remains board chairman and chief executive officer of the world's largest feed manufacturer (annual sales: $400 million). Born in Illinois, educated at the University of Wisconsin, Rowland is the first nonmember of the Danforth family to head the firm in its 62 years. He joined Ralston as a salesman in 1926, by 1940 was special assistant to the production vice president, three years later himself became production vice president. Retiring President Danforth, son of the company founder, told employees that addition...
Bone-tired from the eight-month process of pulling together the $65.9 billion budget for fiscal 1957, Budget Director Rowland Hughes (TIME, Jan. 23) slipped into the White House one day last week and, for "compelling personal and family reasons," asked the President to set a date for his resignation.

He wrote: "You should take vast pride in the balanced budgets now at hand . . ." When he leaves Government service, 59-year...
Last February Alabama's Lister Hill charged in the Senate that Wenzell's firm, the First Boston Corp., stood to make a profit from handling Dixon-Yates financing. The Kefauver committee dredged up the fact that Wenzell had asked Rowland Hughes if his Budget Bureau work presented a conflict of interest. When Hughes was summoned, he replied vaguely that he had told Wenzell to check with First Boston and Joe Dodge. Non-politician Hughes was jolted to his eyeteeth to discover that he was suddenly a major target in the all-out Democratic attack on the Dixon-Yates...
...Dodge and Rowland Hughes probably have come as close as is presently possible to fusing business efficiency with the myriad and disparate bureaus and functions of the U.S. Government. Again it was Charlie Dawes, the man with the first word on the budget, who also had the last word on the paradoxes that might arise when a department of orderliness tries to operate in a government of calculated confusion. "Much as we love the President," he adjured his fellow budgeteers, "if Congress, in its omnipotence over appropriations, passed a law that garbage should be put on the White House steps...
