German wages lower than US despite high prices
Western Germany shows a so called economic miracle yet wages average about 23 dollars per week, far below the 80 dollars in the United States.

President Eisenhower’s stance on cold war talks and defense
The address shows a push to avoid relicensing rigid wartime stances while urging stronger deterrence. Congress and the public favor firm negotiations with the Soviets yet prefer productive talks over brinkmanship. The president warns against mere bargaining as propaganda and calls for united allied pressure to curb missile races and mass weapon buildup. A note on daily life contrasts political gravity with a poem about weekly chores. A reward of 500 dollars is posted for cattle rustler information in the Bald Hill Range, 175 miles east of Prince Rupert, B C.

President Earns Democratic Backing on Space and Nuclear Bans
President Eisenhower won strong Democratic congressional support for his letter to Soviet Premier Bulganin offering a space weapons test and production ban along with a halt to nuclear tests. Senators Humphrey and Johnson praised the proposal as a peaceful, realistic path toward disarmament and possible talks with the Soviet Union. The plan envisions an inspection regime and may center on space treaty talks between the US and USSR, with limited participation by Allies. The committee in Atlanta discussed allied and associate involvement as part of a broader push for reduced weaponization of space and ballistic missiles.

Vodka as Soviet tax tool fuels growth and spending
J M Roberts discusses how vodka finances Soviet science and industry. Higher liquor prices and tax hikes push up 1958 consumption and spending, projecting total liquor expenditure near the 25 billion dollar mark in hard currency terms. Satellite production and education benefit from liquor tax revenue.
Vodka consumption and taxes rise in the Soviet Union
The article notes rising vodka consumption and tax revenue through 1955, with per person annual figures near four to six quarts and a shift in state revenue from liquor. It questions how long the government can sustain higher production and prices before affecting tax income and social issues like drunkenness. It also includes a separate obituary-like excerpt about Julien C. Hyer and a Texas tax reassessment incident involving the Bigelow family.
