Direct Route To Fort May Be Sure But Sure Is Slow
State Highway Commission approved a 1957 58 program but offered only a small grant for the Mountain View Sonoita road, leaving 1014 miles unpaved. The Whetstone route remains the desired 72 mile direct link from Mountain View Benson to Fort Huachuca, pursued by the Tucson Chamber of Commerce and fort leadership for faster, better access between Fort Huachuca and Tucson.

President Eisenhower gains in prestige amid budget battles
Eisenhower recoups political standing after three major Senate and House victories. He won Senate approval of a $3.6 billion foreign aid bill, got unanimous Senate Foreign Relations Committee backing for the atoms-for-peace treaty, and blocked key amendments to right-to-vote legislation. Yet Gallup showed a 17 point drop in popularity to 62 percent, signaling continuing budget tension and doubts about his control of events.

They cut Ike’s budget, curb punitive labor moves, and defer right to work to the states, seeking harmony for 1960 prospects.

The Swiss Remedy Taxation and Civil Liberties
George E Sokolsky argues taxation is an epidemic harming minds and social structures. He suggests circumventing tax laws via anonymous bank deposits and cash, cites Fred C Scribner Jr testimony on $500000 weekly cash deposits, and notes enforcement limits and the Capone case as precedent.
