Two Duke Professors Lead National Professional Groups
Two Duke University faculty members, economist Dr. Vin B. Hoover and Romance languages professor Dr. Hayward Keniston, were elected presidents of the American Economic Association and the Modern Language Association respectively. Hoover, 55, joined Duke in 1925 and oversees the AEA program planning with about 200 specialists. Keniston, 69, heads the MLA amid a three year study of languages in American life and notes his duties mix honor with leadership. Charleston, S. C., led South Atlantic waterborne commerce in 1951 with full 1952 figures pending.

Government payroll burden raises taxes and questions efficiency
In New York a column notes for every two privately employed people there is one Federal civilian employee, with state and local workers raising the overall government payroll. The piece cites 2.56 million federal employees and about 4 million state and local workers, totaling $10–$11 billion in federal requests plus $11.2 billion for military payroll and $12 billion for state and local payrolls. It argues potential 25 percent federal staff cuts and efficiency gains, criticizing ongoing reliance on New Dealers in the Eisenhower era.
