...from $4.95 billion to $3.93 billion. Jealous of their prerogative of scrutinizing aid funds, both House and Senate remained deeply suspicious about the President's intention to transform two-thirds of economic assistance into long-term development loans instead of outright grants. This change, they maintained, was only a shallow disguise of A.I.D.'s proverbially wasteful expenditure...
...Orleans from Minneapolis pass inbound South American bauxite ore moving upriver to Kaiser, Alcoa and Olin Mathieson aluminum plants on the Ohio. The bauxite ore is transshipped from seagoing ships at New Orleans, but recently Captain Jesse Brent, head of a Greenville, Miss, towing company, bought a shallow-draft, 180-ft. vessel in which he hauls insecticides, feed and fertilizers direct from Memphis to South America.

In an excerpt in the current issue of Look, Ike emerges as a testy and shallow ex-general, contemptuous of Adlai Stevenson ("that monkey"), dubious of Richard Nixon ("I just haven't honestly been able to believe that he is presidential timber"). Not surprisingly, Hughes is also leaving his former publishers. Doubleday & Co., who happen to be bringing out Eisenhower's memoirs...
