STATE : Congressman Chester Bowles of Connecticut, who added to the gossip by announcing last week that he would not run for re-election to Congress but would campaign for Kennedy instead; Arkansas' Senator William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; or one of two former U.S. Ambassadors to Russia-Aver ell Harriman or George Kennan. Adlai Stevenson is now being mentioned more often as Ambassador to the U.N., although his old friend Eleanor Roosevelt, who still wants him to be Secretary of State, last week said that "his qualifications are not those needed at the moment...
Benson's successor will also have to drop the old assumption that the years of lean harvests come along and reduce the burdensome surpluses piled up in bountiful crop years. By old-fashioned norms, 1960's wet spring, instead of leading to record harvests, should have brought on poor crops, by interfering with farmers' spring sowing. But modern farm mechanization makes it possible for farmers to get their sowing done fast, during brief letups in the weather. Now a wet spring, storing up ground moisture for summer, brings bigger crops-and bigger headaches for the Secretary...
Undisguisedly Unhappy. Under terms of the settlement, the trainmen got their six-day week reduced to a five-day week, while continuing to get paid for seven days. In return, they agreed to take 2½? instead of the 5.4? hourly wage increase won by the union throughout the industry last month, and to drop some featherbedding practices. The settlement will cost the Long Island $162,041 a year, which the road will cover by raising annual commuter fares for its 85,000 daily commuters by $1 or $2, adding to a recent $24-a-year fare increase...
...scandal got started when the brewers carelessly began washing down their vats with beer instead of water, ignoring leaky valves that spilled out brew until it ran in the gutters. The brewery workers ran up "internal losses" amounting to 2,500,000 gallons of beer worth 40 million rubles-owing in part to on-the-job consumption. In order to make up their quota, they began putting water in the Zhiguli (named for a Volga River beauty spot). Even after a state inspector popped in unexpectedly and found the water content too high, brewery officials and workers kept pouring...
...Dulles International Airport, due to open near Washington, D.C. in 1961, is radically different in concept. Unlike most airports, it will have no passageways reaching out onto the apron to detract from its lofty, templelike terminal designed by Architect Eero Saarinen. Instead of jets coming up to terminal fingers, passengers will simply walk into giant "mobile lounges" that will move them out to the jets...
