From Virginia's Langley Air Force Base came evidence that the downhold has reached to smaller items. Ruled Deputy Base Commander Harold P. Sparks: street lights will stay off at night, air conditioners must be shut down, motor vehicles left unwashed, pencils and paper clips ordered only by emergency requisition. Moreover, announced Colonel Sparks, patrons at the base commissary were requested to return paper shopping bags for reuse...
Duration of Stay: Indefinite, said Stern in Red Prague last week. The U.S. is caught up in "spy hysteria" to the point that "war budgets can be passed, disarmament conferences torpedoed and peaceful coexistence deferred." His exception was the U.S. Supreme Court, "one of the most liberal bodies in the U.S. in recent times." "We are visiting this peace-loving country," he said, "and we are enjoying an interesting and restful trip."

...Star Golf series, TV's first stroke-by-stroke view of the links. Shakespeare Scholar Frank Baxter will bring his relentless cheer to a new cycle of Telephone Time playlets, and Voice of Firestone will enter its 30th year on the air.

To drown their woes, they took to drink at an increasing rate (7.5 liters hard liquor per head per year-30% above 1956). Gomulka warned the workers that he could not raise wages until they produced more; the workers replied that they would not work harder without some real evidence of a better life. They began agitating for wage...
...says in a soft, nasal voice. "It is not supposed to be a pretentious art form. It is not Aristotelian with beginnings, middles and endings, but a series of situations and characters that must extend and develop over great periods of time. Our critics are people who do not stay with us." Although key telegrams are still delivered on the Friday program and opened on Monday, Actress Payne insists that cliffhanging is not "the appeal of our story." "Our characters are lovable, often funny human beings-family friends." But in accordance with the canons of daytime serials, Ma is carefully...
