...ballplayer (21), he has won the Most Valuable Player award three times, and he has led the Cardinals to three world championships. Last week in San Francisco, he collected his 3,430th base hit. He thus tied - and is sure to break-the National League record set by Bonus Wagner 45 years ago in 1917. Nor is that likely to be the end of it. If Musial can maintain anything like his blazing early-season pace-.322 batting average-he will pass two more baseball milestones by the time the season is out: Babe Ruth's record...

...prospect is already evoking alarmed outcries from both labor and management. In California last week, the leader of an aerospace union grumbled: ''We have got to the point where we are using wartime controls in peacetime." At the U.S. Chamber of Commerce meeting, outgoing President Richard Wagner, a Chicago oil executive, even more bluntly declared: "We should remember that dictators in other lands usually came to power under accepted constitutional procedures established as a result of the erosion of sound constitutional principles." In Wagner's speech, and in many a private conversation among the Chamber of Commerce...
