The Week

• Within ten days the President will sign into law a bill authorizing the expenditure of $90 million. The $90 million is needed for discovering whether railroad trains can run real fast between cities, at speeds of 150 miles per hour. It will be spent as follows: $1,000 for travel and expenses for one man to go to Japan and actually see the trains traveling at 150 miles per hour between cities, and $89,999,000 for entertainment and miscellaneous administrative items.

• Madame Chiang Kai-shek is in New York, the city where she went to school, and to which her many friends always welcome her return. She will, we hope, make a public appearance or two before returning to Taiwan, at which her audience will have the opportunity to communicate its warm admiration for her.
