The Committee of American Steamship Lines says American food exports, carried by U S flag ships, are a key cold war tool.

Rural Electrification Administration defies demise asserts new life
Carl DeBloom of the Columbus Dispatch argues that the Rural Electrification Administration persists beyond its original mission. Despite 98 percent of farms having power, REA shifts into new ventures like housing developments and a wood products loan, funded by two percent borrower rates with government subsidies. Congress members are reexamining REA and its methods, signaling significant scrutiny.

People who will say anything for a gag should be made to wear one

Growing Up Free. Kids Shaped Their Own Recreation
Ruth Willett recalls a past era when children grew up by organizing their own games and rules, walking or bicycling to school, practicing dances on a hand crank phonograph, and sharing responsibility within families. Parents and teachers guided rather than directed, with early dating and vacation choices made by families and youths learning independence.

Wives and widows cannot lose Social Security benefits
A reader guide explains that women cannot lose money by taking benefits based on their own earnings rather than their husband's. If a wife or widow is entitled to more as a wife or widow, she gets enough to equal that larger amount, with the rest coming from her husband's record. Examples from Mrs. H. B. of Chicago and Mrs. C. of High Point illustrate how benefits are calculated and updated with age and law changes. Mrs. B. ultimately receives 72 from her own record plus 16 from her husband’s, totaling 88 a month after the 1961 increase.
