...advisory commission headed by retired General Lucius Clay (now board chairman of the Continental Can Co.), the Republican bill was so written as to render it obnoxious to almost any legislator. It called for financing the highway program by special bond issues (thereby giving rise to the old wolf cry of "Wall Street") instead of under the politically tested system of federal-state matching funds, with the federal share coming from regular appropriations. The program would have been placed outside the annual appropriations control of Congress, a surrender of power unlikely to appeal to Congressmen. Also, at George Humphrey...
SECOND ATOMIC SUBMARINE, the U.S.S. Sea Wolf, will be launched in mid-July by General Dynamics. Faster than the Nautilus, the Sea Wolf will also have a different type energy reactor, cooled by sodium instead of water. The Navy has money and plans for two more atom-powered subs, expects Congress will approve three additional A-subs in the next budget...

Like DeMille, Goldwyn is enthusiastically spreading out in his movie as if he were an ambitious youngster with new Hollywood fields to conquer. A foxy lone wolf-no partners, no board of directors, no bank financing-Goldwyn probably knows as much about Hollywood and its half century of history as any man alive. But another Goldwynism covers the situation. "I'm never going to write my autobiography," he says, "as long as I live...
