...area -India and Pakistan, where nearly 500 million people live. The commissioners would be top-drawer private bankers-for the U.S., perhaps Chase Manhattan Bank's John J. McCloy or Detroit Bank & Trust Co.'s Joseph M. Dodge; for Britain, Sir Oliver Franks; for West Germany, Chancellor Adenauer's influential banker friend, Hermann Abs. Perhaps Jean Monnet would be added from France, and Escott Reid from Canada. In time, Japan might also be asked to chip in. The idea would be to commit combined large-scale capital investment to those economies, under control of an international authority...
Polite But Hesitant. On his tour of Europe, Under Secretary Dillon was getting a polite hearing, and a general assent that it was time for Europeans to shoulder more of the burden. The British and French were happy to point a finger at West Germany as the laggard in West Europe's aid spending. In Bonn, key Cabinet members heard Dillon out sympathetically, but the new 1960 budget introduced in the Bundestag last week earmarked less than $25 million for direct governmental technical assistance to other countries.

Most jazz musicians, including...
...Euphemian Literary Society of-little (507 students), 120-year-old Erskine College (which is most of Due West, S.C.) gave an honorary membership to onetime Erskine Man Erskine (God's Little Acre) Caldwell, who is named after Erskine's founder, Ebenezer Erskine. The honor is even rarer than a Nobel Prize in literature. Only other honorary Euphemian: Confederate General Robert E. Lee, who was elected to the society in 1868, failed because of ill health to come by and get his diploma. But nobody around Due West can now remember why Lee was so saluted...
