...political issue of the year had been set by Republican Dwight Eisenhower in his dedication to a balanced budget. Since the heavily Democratic 86th Congress convened in January, few of its members had been more restless within the restraints of the balanced-budget idea than House Speaker Sam Rayburn. He was plainly and openly chafing-and when Mister Sam chafes, he chafes hard. His best opportunity so far to tilt the Eisenhower budget came last week, when the House considered housing legislation. The result was one of the roughest and tumblingest congressional fights in a long while...
...Soviet proposals are based on the assertion that German reunification is not a present-day problem, and can therefore be left until later.

Likely applicants: New York, Buffalo, Dallas-Fort Worth, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Seattle, Mexico City, Montreal, Toronto...
...Within the University itself, there are occasional opportunities to return to active teaching, although not in courses for undergraduates or graduate students. Edwin C. Kemble, Professor of Physics, Emeritus, was lately called out of retirement to direct The Program for High School Teachers of Science and Mathematics here. This "retreading" program established by the Ford Foundation seeks to educate high school teachers in the latest concepts of nuclear physics so that they in turn may keep their own students in step with modern science and technology...
