The 1961 Oscar best picture The Apartment symbolized a trend toward foreign filming as studios cite lower talent costs and favorable regulations. Despite a push to return to Hollywood, 47 of 163 Hollywood financed pictures last year were shot overseas, with projects like Cleopatra and The Longest Day partly abroad. Television’s rise sustains studios but pressures film production, while expatriate tax rules influence where stars earn income.

In a Capitol Hill office and a Capitol Hill tenant building, Indiana Democrat Ed Roush awaits final formal vote to be fully seated as Representative. He leads Republican George Chambers by 99 votes after a May 23 recount, 107,357 to 107,258, though a technicality could delay final action.
The beleaguered congressman Roush, stretched financially, celebrated a belated victory that offered relief but exposed weak GOP strength. He described relief at Washington return and planned to repay loans after retroactive pay arrives, while facing a flood of congratulatory wires from supporters praising his survival. Polly and four children remain at home as he braces for further political pressures.
R Ruark argues that guns and hunting are not wicked but can build character when used responsibly. He cites Baruch, Macmillan, Eisenhower, and Hoover as practicing hunters and fishermen, notes sport taints perception, and contends killing animals for sport is natural though criticized, asserting there is nothing wrong with guns and knives.

The piece critiques Republican leadership under William E. Miller, arguing that unless the party reorganizes in Kennedy-leaning states, no Republican can win in 1964. It contrasts Miller’s TV remarks about a Rockefeller-Goldwater ticket with Will Hays’s advice to elect by organization, not by selecting individuals.
The speech and Laos fighting illustrate deep Cold War rifts between the United States and Soviet Russia. Kennedy frames factions in moral terms, warns war remains possible, and outlines U S effort to shape new nations while asserting moral responsibility.
