...Eisenhower Administration now expects to assist only those countries -say Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Jordan to start with-which share its determination to bar Soviet aggression and infiltration into the Middle East. In testimony before Congress, Secretary Dulles said that any future aid to Nasser "will depend on whether Egypt's international conduct will be such as to justify help." He went on to say that while the U.S. has "no present plans" for granting aid to Egypt, it might "in a year or two," when, as he hoped, Egypt would be free of Communist influence...
...world of plenty for all? At times in history, American business has met its responsibilities; at other times, it has not. The question now is, will it rise to the occasion to think anew in the next few decades?

In the somewhat unwieldy House, divided 233 Democrats and 200 Republicans (with two vacancies). Leader Joe Martin would just have...
...Where the steelmen will get the funds in the tight money market was another question. Last week Lukens Steel Co. produced an idea: it plans to finance its $40 million expansion program through 20-year loans from General Electric Co. and other big customers. Most other steelmen will probably depend on earnings to finance the new plants, are expected to boost prices to get the extra cash they need. At week's end U.S. Steel, Bethlehem and Inland Steel hiked prices 1% to 4% on specialty items for the second price rise in six months...
