After that stern admonition, Ike affirmed his faith in free collective bargaining by asking labor and management to negotiate "around-the-clock" to avert a new steel crisis when the strike-halting Taft-Hartley injunction expires Jan. 26. "What great news it would be if, during the course of this journey, I should receive word of a settlement of this steel controversy that is fair to the workers, fair to management and, above all, fair to the American people," said he. But the steelworkers and steel companies, deeply entrenched and unshakably stubborn after a 116-day siege...
...Secretary for six months, moved into his new job last week on the run. An hour after taking over, he reversed McElroy's longstanding policy discouraging press conferences by the Air Force, Army and Navy Secretaries. Ahead of him lie the same problems that McElroy did not get around to-plus an even more urgent need to grasp the military possibilities in space.

Food that might sustain them is casually devoured by more than 50 million monkeys and some 50 million cattle roaming unchecked through the land. In the midst of poverty, there are polo-playing maharajahs who are among the world's richest men. And there are Indian millionaires...
...high returns by local investors. In an area where investment firms guarantee 8% and manufacturing profits sometimes top 50%, investors are loath to accept less, and dislike U.S.-type management, which believes in building up large reserves, plowing profits back into expansion. Nevertheless, the investors seem to be swinging around to the U.S. concept. In Brazil, where U.S. owners in 1945 held 95% of the stock in 67 companies, today they hold 95% in only 17 companies, as local capital moves in to fill...
