Editorial reflects on universal openness of hearts after severe pain and healing, echoing Jane Austen as a reminder that recovery fosters empathy and renewed warmth among readers and communities.
A chief oil executive cites a 1961 U S Commerce Department analysis showing after tax profits of all U S corporations barely rival fringe benefits for workers. In 15 years profits fell to about 6 percent of national income while employee compensation rose to roughly 70 percent, underscoring profits as a catalyst for investment, jobs, and growth.
Four major electric utilities propose an extra-high-voltage transmission line from Oregon to Los Angeles to move Bonneville surplus power to California. The plan promises federal spending cuts and increased tax revenues over 20 years, with broader benefits to electricity users and taxpayers.
Washington reports indicate a second Kennedy Khrushchev meeting may occur. William Foster, head of the U S disarmament group, suggested further notes and talks after their Vienna 1961 summit. Kennedy plans Rome and Bonn visits could offer a chance for new talks.
Ruth Millett argues daily frustrations stem from misjudging importance. She cites quarrels, gratitude, in laws, disagreement, and keeping individuality. The key is choosing peace, self, wise budgeting, seizing chances, and earning respect with loyal friends.
Paul Harvey critiques U S policy on a United Nations Cuba aid project linking Moscow and Havana. He argues Washington misled the public, condemns a 40 percent U S funding share, notes bipartisan outrage in Congress, and brands the UN plan a costly risk to U S foreign policy.
AP report notes Victor Borge fans clash over his blend of music and humor while he appears in a Sunday ABC special taped at Lincoln Center with Marcel Marceau and Leonid Hambro.

The Pennsylvania State Farm Show highlights a device called the Taxometer that tracks daily gasoline tax payments by American motorists. Projections suggest 1963 total state and federal gas taxes will reach about 6.3 billion dollars, roughly 17 million per day, with rates likely rising. As taxes have grown, Pennsylvania’s first one cent per gallon levy from 40 years ago is dwarfed by today’s revenue, nearly half the pre tax price of gas, prompting calls for vigilance and protests to curb future increases.
The piece argues federal tax cuts totaling 13.5 billion annually won’t solve the problem as state social security and local taxes rise sharply. Porter notes 1.5 billion in state taxes, 22 billion taken by all state taxes, 2 billion plus for social security, and 14.6 billion from incomes this year. The writer urges overhaul at all government levels and warns welfare-state confiscation is looming. The column adds that protracted tax debates strain marriage.

AP reviews Mark Robson's Nine Hours to Rama a melodrama built on Gandhi’s assassination using two real figures Gandhi and Nathuram Godse.
