A roundup of light anecdotes and misreadings including a mistaken phone connection at a music store, a marriage registrar gag with a touring film actor, a Waldorf Astoria misunderstanding, a hat joke about women, a child’s coin bank quip, a bragging prize line, a child’s “horrible mention,” and a Iowa subscriber critiquing abbreviated telephone listings after a number change.
Sen. John Sherman Cooper says critics aim at Eisenhower's budget to undermine his governing philosophy. The piece argues the budget seeks to cut programs and expand government, framing the clash as a defense of constitutional liberty and religious commitment versus secular policy. It warns about lives lacking religion failing under future demands.

Clinton Davidson notes a broken patchwork farm program as Congress debates patching or scrapping it. Since 1951 net farm income fell about one third while farm production rose, price supports fell 23 percent, and government payments rose. Congress will fund about 5 billion dollars for the 1958 USDA budget, the largest ever, as lawmakers seek blame and a new program next year.
The piece outlines overhauling a thousand farm laws, many amendments, with 83 000 federal employees enforcing them. It predicts a 1956 style clash among three schools of thought: broad executive power, rigid price supports, or a mixed parity and compensatory payments plan for key crops like cotton wheat and rice.
