Civil Rights. In its sweeping promises of R'ahts Government-enforced equality for Negroes, the civil rights plank reaches far beyond any previous party platform, Democratic or Republican. "The time has come," it says, "to assure equal access for all Americans to all areas of community life, including voting booths, schoolrooms, jobs, housing and public facilities." If the platform is translated into action, every school district in the country will undertake "at least first-step compliance" with the Supreme Court's school desegregation decision by 1963, the xooth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. The Attorney General...
...Nazi military engineers in Spain to do the job. Last week, after the blast, Betancourt also implicated an old enemy: Dominican Republic Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. The bombing was no amateur blast. It was set off by remote control, showing a technical skill with explosives. The plotters also had access to minute information about Betancourt's movements.

Tough Competition. Merger of the Nickel Plate and the Norfolk & Western would give the N. & W. access to the Great Lakes, and create a network stretching from St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo to the Pocahontas coal region of the Virginias.

But there are few successful challengers to their dominant price-holding role. Independents occasionally force the majors to lower gasoline prices at the pump, as they did recently in West Germany. But they do not have the world wide refining and marketing facilities for a heavy offensive, often cannot offer customers a sustained flow of oil at the same price...
...major problem: its own management. By buying the wrong equipment, pushing its debt too high, expanding without careful study, Capital has been in competitive trouble for years and usually looked to CAB for help. The last time was in 1958, when CAB bailed out Capital by giving the line access to the lucrative Florida market, with a run from Buffalo. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, to Jacksonville and beyond. Object of the move: to keep Capital off subsidy for all time. Yet the line could not make the long-haul run pay off. Its year-round traffic estimates were too optimistic: its stations...
