Marland Fears Ceiling on Liquor Fund Hinders State Revenue
Governor Marland said a 1955 act setting a six million dollar ceiling on the Liquor Control Commission inventory and operating fund will hinder the transfer of profits to the general revenue fund and may force the agency to forgo a 2 percent discount for quick bill payment. He noted slow-moving stock and elimination of a 325 thousand dollar reserve, which previously produced about six thousand dollars yearly in revenue. The act, effective July 1, originated in the Senate Judiciary Committee and its full impact remains to be seen.

Swiss amazed at methods of guarding Geneva visit
In Geneva the guard styles of the United States and Soviet Union differ starkly as Eisenhower travels with heavy protection while Russian leaders ride openly. U S officials, including A. F. E. Baughman and James J. Rowley, command a dense security net around the villa and lakefront, with plainclothes Swiss officers and armed troops lining grounds and access roads. In contrast the Russians ride in open cars, with their secret police staying out of sight, even allowing photographers to film. A local observer notes the Americans project rigid, multi-layered guarding, while the Russians appear relaxed and public in demeanour.
