...speaking tour to include stops at Dallas, Houston, Tulsa, St. Louis and Miami. Rocky, who has already covered nearly 8,000 miles testing the sentiments of both professionals and amateurs, told a "background" session of reporters that he now regards the contest for the G.O.P. presidential nomination as a campaign of the "pros against the people." In other words, he must beguile the Republican-in-the-street-and the independent voter -in order to win over the professional Republicans, now massively lined up behind Vice President Richard Nixon. Although Rockefeller is still officially undecided whether to run, the word...
...Roman Catholic. Some 63,000 votes behind Morrison came ex-Governor (1944-48) Jimmie Davis, sometime songwriting guitarist (You Are My Sunshine), who riled Ole Earl by stealing away the support of the Old Guard New Orleans regulars, won 207,000 votes with a serious, nonsinging campaign. With the 340,000 total votes of the nine also-rans providing the prize, "Chep" Morrison and Jimmie Davis will doubtless battle right down to the January runoff primary (the Democratic nomination means almost certain victory in the April general election...
Actually Burma's pols have been electioneering ever since last May, when moonfaced ex-premier U Nu lashed out at army rule (TIME, June 1).

Blondes, he suggested, can keep that schoolgirl complexion longer if they use powder and makeup bases with built-in chemical sun screens. It was with no hint of boasting that Dallas' Dr. James B. Howell noted: "Texans have the highest incidence of skin cancer in the population of any state...
Watch the Boss. Much of the bickering was over a campaign by both sides to win the Steelworkers' secret vote on industry's last offer, required by the Taft-Hartley Act some time between Jan. 6 and Jan. 21. Out from the eleven negotiating steel companies went letters and brochures to each employee setting forth the industry's "final" offer (it can still make another), which was actually made fortnight ago (TIME, Nov. 30). Dave McDonald called it "a propaganda offer aimed at confusing the Steelworkers," and the union's official paper, Steel Labor, warned workers...
