...Delta plane was not alone in the sunny morning sky over the field. In for a landing, too, came a small private plane piloted by a Columbus beer dealer, Joseph C. Fussell, 42. Before either pilot saw the other-or had time to do anything about it-the small plane drove at right angles into the big one's tail. Only 30 feet off the ground, the two planes bucked up like broncos, then crashed together on to runway No. 5, burst into bright flame. Everyone in both planes was killed...
...grey sky, flying in from Algiers, after an 18-year exile, appears Palmiro Togliatti-and proceeds to mold, the clay. He announces that there must be no antiroyalist agitation. It might even be advisable to roll up the Red Flag for a while, in favor of the national green, white & red. Moscow recognizes Marshal Ba-doglio's royalist government and Palmiro Togliatti enters it as Minister without Portfolio. Less ductile Communists, who still want to rush to the barricades, are pushed out of the party, many by the "respectable" device of being refused support by the Communist machine...

Russia, for instance, is now completely free to press the propaganda activity which so recently ran many Congressmen's benzedrine bill sky-high and made them back the projected 400-million dollar "diplomatic offensive." The Committee's implied faith that the 27 nations hitherto reached by the broadcasts and booklets of the OIC will continue to believe in America's aims through a process of visceral induction is one that the Soviet propagandists will greet with bulging squeals of delight...

When the talk (emotional thinking, he calls it) was perfervid of a sky black with planes-and no one riding the railroads-Patterson snapped: "If all the hot air on the subject circulating today were stored, it would create enough energy to fly all the planes in the U.S. without gasoline...
...prices down, at least one Government arm seemed to be doing what it could to keep them up. The Senate passed and sent to the House a bill to extend price supports on domestic wool for two more years, in effect pegging the price at last year's sky-high level of about 41.6? a lb., some 32% higher than world prices. By virtue of the present floor under wool, which has kept U.S. prices above world wool prices, the Government is now stuck with 480,000,000 lbs., more than a normal year's supply...
