Despite the protests of old-line socialists, a pair of more practical-minded speakers put the case for the new CCF line. One was a convention visitor, British Socialist M.P. Richard Grossman, who reminded his Canadian counterparts that Britain's Labor Party had already acknowledged the need for both private and public enterprise (TIME, July 23). Said Grossman: "Capitalism is not going to collapse." The other socialist plug for free enterprise came from Saskatchewan's CCF Premier Tommy Douglas, who could speak from experience as the head of the only government ever formed by the CCF. Shortly after...
...Carolina and Tennessee; 16.000 checked in at Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park; 4,000 descended into the Carlsbad Cavern of New Mexico; 8,350 arrived at Yosemite, and 20,000 at Yellowstone. By year's end, estimates the Interior Department's National Park Service, the visitor total will reach 55 million...
...they are apparently not willing to leave it at that. Last week in Rome, Italy's Foreign Minister Gaetano Martino, waiting to greet a distinguished German visitor, Konrad Adenauer, told of a triumph of toastmanship achieved by the hardheaded, steel-stomached old man on his visit to Moscow last September.

Party Matters. Daily, Press Secretary Hagerty emphasized that no visitor had talked politics with the President. Finally, Ike did take up party matters; during a one-hour visit, Sherman Adams reported on the preparations by the convention-arrangements committee for a short three-or-four-day convention, noting, to Ike's satisfaction, that Washington's Governor Arthur Langlie, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, will be the keynote speaker. But the tacit ban on politics by all hands until the chief himself broached the subject jarred sharply with optimistic Republican organization insistence on the status quo. The indication...
