...Rule of Rules. The rest of Kennedy's legislative program shortly met with an utter rout in the House at the hands of Virginia's leathery old Howard W. Smith, who has been a Congressman since Kennedy was 13 years old. The consent of Chairman Smith's powerful Rules Committee is needed to send a House bill into Senate-House conference. Backed up by the committee's long-time alliance of Republicans and Southern Democrats, conservative "Judge" Smith handed Northern Democrats a tough warning: the committee would kill off Kennedy's $1.25-an-hour minimum...
...leaders of the 99,400-member association as well as to women's clubs, veterans' groups and editors around the nation. Dismissing the proponents of repeal as "internationalists" and "world government enthusiasts," Holman argues that "the Connally Reservation is necessary to protect the U.S. against a program of supernational supervision of its citizens," imposed by alien jurists who could make up rules as they went along because the body of international law is incomplete and indecisive. His conclusion: "In view of the present state of the world, we should not legally disarm any more than we should disarm...
...derelict economy, he wants a cut of 200,000 men in South Korea's 630,000 man army, Asia's largest outside Red China. He is also committed to improving South Korea's troubled relations with Japan.

...Canada just for the viewing, since the U.S.-when it wants to use it-has the edge in talent, technique and salaries, all based on a population ten times as great as Canada's. But Canada may well come out on top in terms of program balance and quality. Main reason: CBC gets a $62 million subsidy from the government, which frees it from advertiser control (sponsors buy spots but cannot control programing). CBC does not have to truckle to the common-denominator violence and gags of most U.S. television...
...major scientific sense, the orbital flight program seems almost self-defeating. Both Russia and the U.S. insist that they will not attempt to place a man in orbit until they can reasonably guarantee his safe return to earth. But when problems of thrust, guidance, artificial environment, communications, reentry and recovery have been sufficiently solved to permit this assurance, the program already will have proved its point: that man can survive in a satellite. Thus, to many scientists, the stunt of actually putting a man in orbit then seems scarcely worth the effort, risk and financial burden...
