The Federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare estimates that it will double its budget within the next five years. Secretary Marion Folsom holds that the jump from three to six billion dollars a year is inevitable, possibly desirable…. Within weeks, Labor Secretary Mitchell will submit his proposed changes in the Taft-Hartley Law to the President who, it is widely believed, will endorse them in a message to Congress…. In 1957-58 the chemical industry will spend $2.5 billion on new construction—$53 million is slated for an expansion of research facilities….

A congressional committee is reported to possess sworn testimony that a Harvard professor who works for the Central Intelligence Agency told a group of seminar students that the CIA’s principal challenge lies in maneuvering the U.S. into the recognition of Red China…. The New York federal grand jury that indicted Jacob Albam and Jack and Myrna Soble for peacetime spying, named as co-conspirators twelve Russian citizens most of whom served here as diplomatic envoys. They have all left the country…. J. Edgar Hoover, in the Law Enforcement Bulletin, has begged the country to face the fact that it is dealing with young criminals rather than bad children. He predicted that if “fierce young hoodlums” continue to be pampered by the law, America will witness “the brutal criminality and mobsterism of a past era.”
