Doll maker apologizes to Eisenhower protesting purchase
New York reports that Doll maker David Rosenstein apologized to President Eisenhower for a protest over the purchase of Swiss dolls for his grandchildren.

Small businesses hurt by drop in contracts
A Senate committee warned that defense contracts to small firms fell sharply, risking closures. They reported small business awards at 8.0 percent of total for the year ending June 30, far below the prior 25 percent. Eisenhower sought 36,000 new public housing units annually for ten years, with Senate proposing 195,000 over four years, but the House rejected housing funding entirely, offering only 50,000 for one year.
