Lippmann, obviously impressed by Khrushchev's plans to switch Russia's grain-producing area from the Ukraine to Siberia, recommends that the United States prove--through an intensive agricultural and industrial program in India--that it can match Soviet and Chinese performance. Stevenson was more cautious about the possibility of failure for the Kremlin's grand Seven-Year Plan, but admitted the propaganda effect of such undertakings on nations which can see what Communism has done in forty years in Russia and in ten years in China...
...Department of Commerce report on manufacturers' new orders, the key to future industrial output. Orders rose more than seasonally in September, and for the first time exceeded a comparable 1957 month. Manufacturers' sales, especially durables, were still slowed down by new model changes and by cautious buying for inventories by distributors and retailers.

...Innovator. Pius XII was often described as an innovator, impelled to innovate not so much by temperament (for he was gentle, cautious and diolomatic) as by the force of the times.

Department Store in Dallas and one of San Francisco's biggest department stores reported that collections were better during the recession than before it. Said Emil...
High Living. The real upsurge began after World War II, when food prices began to soar, and housewives grew cautious about overbuying. The leftovers got skimpier, were hoarded in the freezer instead of fed to pets. It was also a lot easier and cheaper to open a box or can of dog food. (Dog-food prices have fallen 12% since 1953, although people-food prices have risen 8%.) Into the open market jumped hundreds of small new companies, such as Los Angeles' Dr. Ross Dog & Cat Food Co., begun by D. B. Lewis, 53, a Tennessean who parlayed...
