Berlin. As a young man, Voigt forged 300 marks worth of postal money orders to buy trinkets for his girl, and got a 15-year sentence for the crime. Once out of stir, he could not get a job without papers, and could not get papers without a job. Back in the jug he went, this time for breaking into a police station to try to forge a passport for himself...

The issue: a last-ditch amendment offered by Kansas' Senator Frank Carlson, ranking Republican on the Senate Post Office Committee, to limit a postal pay raise to 8½% (v. 12½% in the bill and 6% recommended by the President). The limitation was snowed under 54 to 29 when 15 Republicans, many regular Eisenhower supporters, deserted to the Democrats. Net result: the ungainly bill lumbered toward a conference with the House with...
