...United States would carry over 1200 in crew though it never sails with all hands.) And then, immediately, you begin to hear the troubles of all the older men, and their bull as well. It's easy to become insensate, but finally the brutalities of the life just storm your mind...
...Storm of Stones. One afternoon last week, therefore, about 100 demonstrators broke from the edge of the muddy Lakeview lot, threw themselves at the wheels and treads of bulldozers, power shovels, trucks and mobile concrete mixers. A power shovel operator watched in disbelief as six people-including a woman five months pregnant-leaped into a ditch and stretched out prone just beneath the shovel's jaws.

Congress has investigated almost every steel price rise since Robert Taft led an angry probe into one of the first postwar hikes in 1948, and federal authorities have long grumbled that steel prices seem to have little regard for the law of supply and demand. Last week a federal grand jury made that charge official by indicting the nation...
