...Those stupid Republican businessmen," cried one of the nation's top Republican politicians on a don't-quote-me basis. "They insisted on right-to-work." Then, turning to Washington newsmen, he said: "Strike the word 'stupid.' " And then, five minutes later, he shook his head and cried again: "Those stupid Republican-businessmen." Echoed Ohio's Republican State Chairman Ray Bliss after seeing his state ticket swamped by Ohio's landslide against right-to-work: "During the past year I repeatedly warned the proponents of this issue that this defeat would be the possible...

For the first four years of his administration, relations between government and press were good. Shortly after the 1954 elections the opposition press became bitingly critical, and the administration began to strike back. Sweeping Menderes-backed laws can check a newsman into the "Ankara Hilton" for any story that lessens the public's regard for the Premier or his administration...
...biggest U.S. airlines, threatened by labor troubles with the International Association of Machinists and other unions, this week agreed on a united front to battle the unions. The pact, the first of its kind in U.S. industry, was spurred by a strike of the Machinists, which shut down Capital Airlines over demands for an hourly raise of 42?. The Machinists have also threatened to strike Trans World Airlines and Eastern. All six airlines-American, Capital, Eastern, Pan American, T.W.A., United-have agreed to put on extra flights along routes they also serve to take care of the passengers...
