...sharper antagonists in the House than Louisiana Democrat Otto Passman and Minnesota Republican Walter Judd-Passman passionately against, Judd dourly for. Louisiana's Passman, 59, onetime refrigerator distributor and World War II Navy materiel and procurement officer, seven-term Congressman and Appropriations Committee axman, is an acknowledged expert who knows how to find every foreign-aid dollar in every foreign-aid pipeline and how to take maximum debating advantage thereof. Minnesota's Dr. Judd. 60, onetime medical missionary in China, is a nine-term Congressman and Foreign Affairs Committee veteran who just as expertly supports foreign...

High Pressure. The viewers at The Tingler's preview in Hollywood last week watched with a kind of critical apprehension. Surely, Horror Movie Expert William Castle, 45, had dreamed up a gimmick more devilish than that. He had. Seconds later, as the tingler was supposedly slithering across the screen, seats actually shivered and buzzed; the audience tingled for fair. Bill Castle had wired vibrators beneath almost everyone in the place...
