Homemade Gingerbread. What Candidate McGonigle lacks in political experience he makes up in genial man-to-man manner. Born of Scotch-Irish Methodist parents in Kane, Pa., McGonigle worked his way through Kane High and Temple University, was a General Foods driver-salesman until he took charge at $30 a week of the shaky Bachman Pretzel Bakery in Reading, and began rocketing its output with automatic pretzel benders and cellophane packages. Last year G.O.P. State Chairman George Bloom, trying to salvage something of the G.O.P. wreckage left by the Grundy and Fine machines, persuaded Pretzel King McGonigle to become...

To keep tempers down, the government canceled all liquor licenses, closed the bars and shops, where Scotch normally sells at $3.50 a fifth. Supervisors kept the power plant going; a few white housewives learned to bake bread at home. Though the strike dragged on, the union had little chance to gain its real goal of political power this time, or in this way. Meanwhile the colony was losing...
