Ceilings Off
(/V) Monday expired the dead
line .set by the boss of the Office of
Price Stabilization, Tighe Woods,
on action or explanation by his cx
fpert.s on a roll back of retail meat
'prices. Woods told his staff last
week: "either write out the order
1 ('I tell me why it can’t be done."
Tiie experts answered Monday
that they were not ready to do
either thing and asked for a
two day extension of the dead
line to have more time to study
f reports.

‘4he e< ilings on wholesale pork
i rices, which action was followed
(shortly by an announcement from

Book Review
(C ontinued from pa/jc one)
which Inc ardent fan has already
read. The ten writers in this new
volume read hke a who's who of
the best SF authors, including
Bradbury, Asimov. Neville, Cart
mill, Van Vogt and Boucher.
The aim of the anthology was
to cover in new and unusual man
ners all the standard themes,
such as time travel, cybernetics,
symbiosis, as well as the prob
lems of sociology, economics, pol
itics and wars of the future. This
purpose was comprehensively, if
extremely unevenly, achieved.
From Sensitive to Stupid
The stories range all the way
from Kris Neville's beautifully
written and sensitive "Bettyann”
to the forced and stupid satire of
Fenton and Pet-acca, who are
Grade B screen writers, not sci
ence fiction men. What their
story, "Tolliver's Travels” is do
ing in a book purporting to be
good SF is beyond us. There are
a couple of other highly question
able items in the collection also,
but the rest make up for them.
"Bettyann" is the story of a
girlhood through the eyes of a
super-human, a girl from a race
of space wanderers who does not
realize that she is not of earth.
When she finally realizes her
identity and is able to forsake
her assumed body, to go wander
ing with her people through
spate, the ties of earth and her
family call her back. A welcome
charge from the usual super
mutant who finds no use for hu
manity.
Old Theme
A. E. Van Vogt's story "Ful
fillment” concerns an old theme,
the computing machine which
finds itself in the position of Des
cartes "I think, therefore I am."
This machine's thoughts extend
to the conquering of the world
It makes a fine story.
“B plus M” Planet 4” by Ger
ald Heard and "In a Good Cause"
by Isaac Asimov take up the wide
field of solving the world's future
sociological and political 'prob
lems. The first story does it with i
a symbiotic paiiing of the plants, j
the bees, and man, borrowed !
from Mars. The second, and the
better story, unifies man's solar
system through the threat of j
outer-Galactic invasion. It also
poses a question when the unifi- I
cation is achieved, not by the i
visionary idealist, but by politi- *
cal chicanery. “The end justifies
the men ns" seems to be the con
clusion.
On the whole, “New Tales of
Space and Time” will stimulate
the old .Sk fan, and should gain a
wider audience from among the
uninitiated.
Veterans' Loan
(/P) Veterans of the armed for
ces who have served since the out
break of the Korean War are eli
gible for a second guaranteed loan
to buy homes and farms, the Vet- j
erans Administration said Monday.
