...income farm families escape into other livelihoods, and at the same time to ease the problems of surpluses. Rockefeller proposed a long-term "land-use program" similar to what the Committee for Economic Development advocated two years ago (TIME, Dec. 23, 1957). Under this program, the Federal Government would rent entire farms for long periods, take the land out of crop production and put it to "such uses as reforestation and conservation." As a "start," Rockefeller urged retirement of some 30 million acres in addition to the 20-odd million acres already in the soil bank's conservation reserve...
...blacks in their place. A few miles outside Windhoek, the government is completing a $5,000,000 "location" for the capital's 16,000 blacks. Though the austere new houses are quite an improvement over the old tin shanties, they not only cost eleven times as much to rent, for people whose pay ranges from $3 to $10 a month, but are regarded by the blacks as nothing more than one more ignominious step toward complete apartheid.

To the Riksdag he proposed a most unsocialistic solution: a 4% turnover (sales) tax on everything people buy except rent, prescription medicines, transport, fuel and packaging materials, plus a $45 million fuel...
...Stade also praised the new singlerent plan, whereby all rooms in freshman dormitories rent for the same price per year regardless of size or "desirability." He asserted that "it has eliminated the distinction between 'Gold Coast' freshmen and scholarship students, and has also brought greater mixing among groups of students." Last year the Masters debated extending this policy to upperclassmen, but finally rejected...
