...Pentagon's 1959 budget, got an answer of $42 billion as a working figure. This meant probable expenditures of from $39½ billion to $40 billion next year, with an increased schedule thereafter. The notion of a $38 billion ceiling on defense spending is as dead as a rubber check, perhaps for many years to come. ¶ There will be no tax cut next year; there may be an Administration request to Congress to lift the $275 billion national debt limit, although budgeteers will make heroic attempts to stay within the limits...
...lesson finally sank in. Last week-with the only possible opposition candidate safely tucked away in jail-Perez Jimenez brazenly turned the scheduled Dec. 15 presidential election into a me-or-nothing plebiscite, a forced vote of confidence in the "New National Ideal," its leader and his rubber-stamp Congress...

Only five expected a steady rise throughout the year; only four predicted a continuous decline. Said Leonard Smith, commercial research manager for U.S. Rubber Co.: "This is one of those modern recessions where no one feels much pain. I am convinced that it's not going to be very deep...

...other industries are discovering even tougher tasks for the versatile isotopes to perform. Tiremakers long sought a way to control the amount of rubber that goes onto each strand of tire cord. Recently, Industrial Nucleonics Corp. of Columbus, Ohio, one of the top sellers of isotope measuring equipment (1956 sales: $5,000,000), developed a foolproof method. As the tire cord goes through the rubberizing machine, it passes between a capsule of strontium 90 and a radiation counter. If the thickness varies, the detector's reading changes, automatically sets off machinery to adjust the rubber flow. Today...
