...Aramburu thereupon turned back to fighting the painful inflation that makes politically inspired strikes so easy to call. For the past year labor has been caught with wages frozen while prices spiraled up 34%. Aramburu has stoutly refused to grant a wage boost that would redouble inflation. Instead, he has tried to persuade manufacturers and wholesalers to cut prices by cutting profits. After last week's strike he got strong and unexpected help when the influential Roman Catholic Church issued a pastoral letter that declared "business concerns, have a greater duty to reduce their profits than workers to forego...
...machinelike efficiency from Thurber, Thurber persisted in trying to write New Yorker prose. One day Ross stormed in on him.

...Civil Service Commission's Loyalty Review Board found "reasonable doubt" as to his loyalty. _ Last June the U.S. Supreme Court, ruling on a legal point and not on loyalty, held that the Secretary of State had exceeded his authority in dismissing Service; the U.S. District Court in Washington thereupon ordered him reinstated in the foreign service. On his new assignment he will be paid at least $11,850 a year to help plan the shipping of foreign service officers' furniture...
