...Geneva atomic conference was a 25-minute Soviet movie with ballet-music background. The Russians had given the impression that they had built no nuclear power plant except the small (5,000 kw.) job they completed in 1954, but the film showed a massive building in an unnamed Siberian town. Inside was a monster reactor yielding 100,000 kw. of electricity. Five more like it under construction will make the plant the world's biggest. General consensus was that the Russians, put deep in the shade by the U.S. technical exhibit, made the late announcement-by-inovie...

The National Retail Merchants Association polled 225 members with total yearly sales of more than $2.5 billion, found that 52% expect second-half sales to rise an average of 4% over the year-ago level...
Manhattan Restaurateur Toots Shor's motto in life has long been, "Having friends is better than having money." As the town's No. i host to sportsmen, writers and politicians, Shor built a reputation as a fabulous spender, was often broke but never for a moment lacked for loyal friends. Last week Shor had no lack of money, either. For $1,500,000 he sold his leasehold, which still has nine years to run, on his 51 West 51st Street restaurant, which he has operated since 1940. Purchaser: William Zeckendorf's Webb & Knapp, which plans to tear...
