First Half Fairly Good By Roger W Babson
Babson argues that first half of 1954 could be fairly good despite mixed views. He links markets and prices to impatience to buy versus sell, explores measuring mass impatience, and speculates on using broadcasts and bodily waves to forecast conditions. He cites Kefauver hearings and notes optimism among publishers.

Accuracy Of Figures Is Challenged In New York
A Catholic editor priest challenged a Protestant magazine survey claiming 4,144,366 Catholics converted to Protestantism in a decade. He argued the method ignored science, citing the yearbook’s 183,899 pastors, not 181,000, and questioned the urban bias. Protestant editor Wilson defended the figures as reasonable and conservative.
