...risk of making the problem twice as bad." The answer: a "program of principle" that will "preserve our continent's basic resource of soil" and a determined effort to get farm prices and income "back on a genuinely healthy basis." ¶ In labor relations, the Administration has stuck fast to the principle of free collective bargaining despite the argument that in major labor disputes the Government should force the parties to agree by knocking their heads together. The result: "For the first time in our history, a complete steel contract was negotiated and signed without direct Government intervention...
...biggest problem was getting cameras into the right place at the right time. Sometimes the sheer magnitude of the new gadgets delayed the news. One NBC man got stuck on top of a 70-foot "hi-reach" camera and was forgotten. Twelve ABC men were wedged between electronic gear in a tiny booth until someone called a locksmith. Larry (Meet the Press) Spivak had to be rushed to a doctor to have a small speaker plug removed from his ear.

The Presi dent made his veto stick on the Southern-Democratic-sponsored natural gas bill, al though he was "in accord with its basic objectives," because he got a strong whiff of "arrogant...
While the U.S. as a whole reported 37% fewer cases in the current polio season than last year (2,295 since April 1, as against 3,613), a swift outbreak hit Chicago and suburbs. Almost every hour of every day last week, workers stuck a pin into a wall map in the office of Chicago's Health Boss Herman N. Bundesen. The red pins stood for new cases of paralytic polio, yellow for nonparalytic, black for fatal cases. By week's end there were 268 pins-166 red, 97 yellow, five black (as against 39 cases, two deaths...
