There was no longer much doubt that harried Ezra Benson is going to run up against sharp pitchforks on Capitol Hill in the session just ahead. The Agriculture Department predicted last week that, with improved moisture conditions in prospect, 1958's winter wheat harvest will run a glutting 28% bigger than 1957's. But far from taking the wheat forecast as further evidence that the high price-support approach has failed (TIME, Dec. 23), Chairman Harold D.

Hotelkeepers all over the Caribbean last week raised their rates to winter levels, officially opening what promised to be the rum-punch belt's splashiest sin-and-sun season yet.

As a Sea Scout, he went to the Antarctic 29 years ago with Admiral Richard E. Byrd, has spent four winters there since. As it turned out, Siple's buoyant personality proved as valuable as his scientific knowledge. He ran a surprisingly contented camp despite the little group's isolation, and the wearing, jet-black night of winter that was four months long. Siple's formula: work like...
