...Westinghouse Electric Corp. made a deal last week to sponsor all 19 of the major college football games to be televised this fall. Under the National Collegiate Athletic Association's "scientifically controlled" plan of strictly rationing games to chart TV's effects on the ticket sales, the colleges will get about $700,000, the balance going to NBC and the ad agency. A TV center like New York, which had as many as four televised games each Saturday last season, will now see only one. Two Saturdays will be completely blacked out.

...wild scare buying after the Korean war, commodity prices went only one way-up. Retail prices faithfully followed them. By last week, the big scare was over in many a commodity. A prime example was wool, which hit a 30-year peak this year (see chart).

Eighty percent (16 million tons) will go to what the Government calls "defense-supporting programs" (see chart). Biggest takers: railroad equipment, petroleum industry, building materials...
...Amethyst was untouched. Then she began to flood from a waterline shell hole suffered in the first day's attack. In the engineroom the depleted crew of eleven worked at temperatures up to 170 degrees, drank ten gallons of tea during the frantic run. In the chart-room, two men tried to pick out the channel with an echo sounder. One thing was sure: the Amethyst had to hit the narrow opening in the boom or "she would slice off her bottom." As she approached it, a flare went up, Communist guns opened fire and the river erupted...
