...year ago (TIME, Jan. 3, 1955), Russian-born Wolf Ladejinsky was fired as a security risk by the U.S. Department of Agriculture from his job as an Asian land-reform planner. The charges were aired and proved ridiculous; Ladejinsky was rehired by Harold Stassen's Foreign Operations Administration to work on land reform in Viet Nam. Last week the International Cooperation Administration (successor to FOA) announced that it had demanded and received Ladejinsky's resignation.

...mere "raiders," who might often liquidate a company for its cash. But the raiders regarded themselves as leading a revolt of the stockholders. Right or wrong, they put the pressure on industry's managers to produce or get out. In the proxy war of the year, Financier Louis Wolf son (Washington's Capital Transit, New York Shipbuilding, etc.) fought a losing battle to take over Montgomery Ward. But the overall effects of his fight were good. At 81, Chairman Sewell Avery finally stepped down; in came a younger management. Result: Ward sales increased 10%, dividends were raised...
